The push toward leading indicators is encouraging many businesses to dive deeper into their supply chains and workforce processes through auditing. The benefits of doing so are unparalleled. Auditing promotes your health and safety culture, drives sustainability, and has proven results in reducing incidents.

Only using prequalification-management practices, companies in the United States were able to reduce their total recordable incident rate 26%. When they added supplier audits, TRIR decreased 46%. Days of restricted work activity (DART) and lost workday case rate (LWCR) measurements improved 26% and 33%, respectively.

Although prequalification verifies compliance, audits verify that specific processes and standards are followed across the board.

In this webinar, two professional auditors with more than 20 years of experience will share:

• Lessons and stories from audits around the world
• The role an EHS professional has in the auditing process
• Why sustainability audits matter
• The social and environmental questions covered in sustainability audits
