Five Star Integrated Audit

Best practice, quantified, in depth examination of an organisation’s entire integrated safety, health and environmental management system and associated arrangements.

The audit goes far beyond the requirements of established standards such as OHSAS 18001 and ISO 14001 by assessing safety, health and environmental management systems (and associated arrangements) against current best practice techniques and current trends.

The audit will help you demonstrate the excellence of your integrated SHE management system to customers, supply chain and other stakeholders and will support continual improvement strategies.

We have now launched our 2019 specification. Want to know more about the changes? Sign up for one of our upcoming webinars:

This audit is designed for any organisation that has implemented, or is working towards a fully integrated safety, health and environmental management system.
