EHS Subject Scope

Scope

Our country EHS audit protocol & guidance service is focused on environmental, health and safety, country legislation and regulatory requirements. We also incorporate guidance documents and related "standards" only in those cases where they are considered mandatory "requirements". In most cases, this means that the guidance literature is referenced in the legislation.

The legislation and regulations included in our country protocol & guidance service is limited to national (unless otherwise stated) EHS requirements that have site-specific application to manufacturing operations.

The protocol statements developed for each piece of legislation or regulation includes the "main" requirements of the legislation as well as "key secondary" requirements of the EHS subject areas listed below. "Main" requirements are defined as those requirements if not met would harm people, the environment, or the company. "Key secondary" requirements are defined as those requirements if not met could harm people, the environment, or the company.
