Audits
Ensuring that your company's environmental, health & safety (EH&S) program remains in compliance in today's dynamic regulatory and risk-management environments can be no small task. The use of regular company-specific compliance auditing and assessment permits companies large and small to assess their daily operations. The Auditing process provides companies with a true evaluation of their daily operations and how their processes conform to the numerous regulations, management practices, and the company's own goals and objectives.
Leader will work with you to develop an auditing program that fits your needs. Our staff of Scientists, Engineers and Industrial Hygienists can work as an independent auditing team, or as a supplement to your corporate auditing staff.
