Types of Criteria

EHS Auditor Criteria (i.e. Audit checklists) is organised by type as follows:

  • Federal Legislation - Criteria based on Federal legislations of a county. In Canada, for example, industry requirements from the Canadian Environmental Protection Act and related regulations would be included in of this type of criteria.
  • Provincial or State Legislation - Criteria based on the industry requirements in provincial legislation of a region of a country.
  • City and Regional Legislation - Criteria based on city or regional by-laws are in this type.
  • H.S.E.Q. Management System Criteria - Criteria derived from the requirements published by standard setting organisations. Conformance Check has developed criteria for the following management systems: ISO9000 for Quality, ISO14001 for Environmental, and OSHA 180001 for Health and Safety.
  • Codes of Practise - Criteria derived from codes published by government, industry, standard setting associations and trade organisations
  • Corporate - Criteria from specific corporate policies typically entered by the customer.
All Criteria Areas of Concern can be searched for specific terms and the industry requirements for the terms will be listed. For example a search for the term "PCB Equipment" in the " PCBs - Storage/Export & Release " area of concern will display the requirements for PCB equipment in this area of concern.

The EHS Auditor Question can be modified by adding your corporate interpretation of the questions to the notes. The response choices of the audit question can be modified by the user as well as other properties of the audit question. User modifications are protected from regulatory updates.
