Environmental Audit Checklist
Developing a checklist of things to look for during an Environmental auditing helps auditors through the entire process and reminds them of all topics or points in the scope of the audit.
But, we need to remember that checklists are by no means all-inclusive. Environmental auditors should use their own judgement, sampling method and peripheral knowledge to verify the Environmental compliance.
