The process of conducting an environmental audit typically involves several steps:
Preparation: This initial phase involves defining the scope of the audit, identifying relevant
regulations, and gathering necessary documentation.
Site Assessment: Auditors visit the site to assess compliance with environmental standards and evaluate the handling and disposal of hazardous substances.
Data Collection: Information on current environmental practices, waste management, and pollutant emissions is collected for analysis.
Analysis and Evaluation: The collected data is analyzed to assess compliance and identify areas for improvement.
Reporting: A detailed report is produced, outlining findings, non-compliance issues, and recommendations for improvement.
Follow-Up: Post-audit, organizations are encouraged to implement recommended changes and monitor their effectiveness over time.
