Audits for Environmental Compliance
Maintaining an environmental, health and safety audit program reduces worker's compensation premiums, minimizes waste disposal and handling costs, and reduces the likelihood of penalties for regulatory non-compliance.
In addition to traditional compliance audits, Ice Miller attorneys can assist you in determining whether your company might benefit from an Environmental Management System ("EMS"), which is required to comply with the ISO 14000 Registration process. While a traditional audit looks at the present and the past, an EMS Audit is an audit of the management system program itself which verifies that an organization has implemented and maintained a relevant and effective EMS.
