QHSE Audit Approach
Pro QC’s QHSE audit services incorporate elements of ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and SA8000, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation in line with global standards. Our supplier management team, with vast experience in the QHSE domain, delivers tailor-made solutions that cater to buyers and organizations that are seeking a combined approach. We assist organizations looking to gauge their current adherence to QHSE best practices, fortify their QHSE management systems, or evaluate their suppliers.
Our on-site audits are grounded in objective observations and impartiality. The auditor gathers evidence to determine the organization’s adherence to best practices in QHSE. Following the audit, a comprehensive report is presented, highlighting strengths and areas for improvement, prioritized by significance and impact. This report encompasses findings, recommendations, and objective evidence like photographs. We also provide an overall evaluation score and can create and implement a corrective action plan if needed.
What is a QHSE Audit?
QHSE is a holistic system that offers a framework for quality, health, safety, and environmental management in businesses. While not a standalone standard, QHSE draws from globally recognized standards to respond to the diverse demands of industries and regulatory entities.
Incorporating global best practices, QHSE merges the foundational principles of quality management with critical health, safety, and environmental stewardship aspects. A QHSE audit, especially when conducted by an independent third party like Pro QC, assesses an organization’s alignment with these best practices. This assessment assures existing and potential clients that the organization has robust systems in place for quality, health, safety, and environmental considerations. Moreover, the audit identifies non-conformances, facilitates corrective actions, and instills confidence in stakeholders about the organization’s commitment to continuous improvement and industry best practices.
