• What your current safety and regulatory risks?
• What aspects of the EHS program are functioning as intended?
• Are there any gaps in the program?
• What needs to be improved?
• How soon will changes be made?
• What are the improvement costs?
• What is the ROI of an optimized safety program?
• Who is responsible for coordinating changes?
• What will the schedule be for inspections and audits moving forward?

We’ll level with you – audits and inspections can be a lot of work.

But they’re easier, cheaper and a whole lot less stressful than dealing with accidents, losses, penalties, legal claims, workforce turnover and the myriad other adverse consequences of a poor EHS program.

Effective audits and inspections not only save lives, but also tend to:

• Lower workers’ compensation costs
• Prevent citations and fines
• Boost workforce productivity and retention
