Onsite Plant Audits

Is your company committed to being compliant with Occupational Health & Safety (OSHA) and Transportation regulations? When is the last time you had a plant audit? Penalties, fines and punitive litigation for breaches of Occupational Health & Safety (OSHA) and Transportation and the resulting injuries are substantial.

As an employer, you are required to manage and control the numerous risks and hazards associated with your industry. You must also be aware of the ramifications of the Acts, Codes and Regulations that govern your workplace. ICC Compliance Center provides a full Occupational Health and Safety Advisory service.

The US Department of Transportation or Transport Canada randomly inspects plants and warehouses for health and safety violations in order to ensure companies are compliant with hazardous material regulations.

Arranging to have an ICC Compliance Center audit in advance of a random inspection, can help you demonstrate your company’s commitment to being compliant with the rules and regulations. ICC audits include a walkthrough and visual inspection to review the following:

• Packaging standards
• Labeling of packages and containers for WHMIS, OSHA, 49 CFR, TDG Clear Language and GHS
• Shipping documentation
• Material safety data sheets (MSDS)
• Health and safety issues
• Safety signs
• Workplace labeling
• Risk identification
• Security
• GHS Implementation

Let us help before the inspector visits!

Can you afford not to be compliant?

Our competitively priced comprehensive safety audits and inspections are an optimum way of increasing safety awareness in your workplace; ensuring peace of mind that you and your organization are complying with all Occupational Health and Safety requirements. Professional Occupational Health and Safety management helps to protect businesses, workers, families and the public from the trauma of accident and tragedy.

Our transportation audits review your process from beginning to end, looking at all 7 steps to compliance with the transportation regulations such as 49 CFR, TDG, IATA or IMDG. Clients receive a report specific to each area of the business, itemized with photos and pertinent regulations. The report is prioritized so all issues may be addressed as per their importance (high, medium, low). This allows employers to create a safety action plan and to budget effectively in order to address any occupational health and safety concerns.

ICC Compliance Center can help you pass your plant audit with complete success! Our regulatory specialists are ready to perform a complete audit of your plant at your convenience to ensure compliance with the different regulations such as Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations (TDGR), Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS), the Consumer Chemical Containers Regulations (CCCR), 49 CFR Hazardous Materials Regulations, and GHS.
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 all involved properly understand the results of the audit.
