Plant Audits
Working in a facility around industrial equipment and machinery requires skill and prudent safety practices. However, what practices are in place after products have left the machinery?

In order to ensure companies are compliant with hazardous material regulations, OSHA, Labor Canada, US Department of Transportation or Transport Canada randomly inspect plants and warehouses for health and safety violations.

While we at ICC The Compliance Center can't prevent an inspection, we can certainly help you pass it with flying colors. We offer services that include having a regulatory specialist perform a complete plant audit. We analyze your needs and inspect your facilities for compliance with the different regulations such OSHA, 29 CFR 1910, DOT 49 CFR regulations, Transportation of Dangerous Goods regulations (TDGR) and GHS Consumer Chemical regulations.

Our plant audit includes a walk through and visual inspection that includes the following:

• GHS implementation
• Packaging standards
• Labeling of packages and containers for WHMIS, OSHA and GHS within WHMIS, 49 CFR and TDG.
• Shipping documentation
• Safety Data Sheets (SDS's)
• Health and safety issues
• GHS safety signs
• GHS workplace labeling
• Risk identification
• Security

Once the inspection is complete, the regulatory specialist will draft an extensive report including specific recommendations, including any exemptions to ensure full compliance. These also include any exemptions from which you may benefit. Your account manager will then review the report in detail with you, help you understand our findings and select the appropriate services to solve any problems. If necessary, the regulatory specialist can assist the account manager in delivering the report to a group, so the information is properly understood by all involved.

What are the final benefits to a plant audit?

• You have a complete picture of your compliance situation.
• You obtain the tools to meet the requirements of the various regulations and receive suggestions to streamline your shipments.
• You can present a plan of action to any inspector who walks in unannounced.
• You now have a partner in compliance to help you with all your hazardous materials needs.
