Your timesaving solution for maintaining effective international compliance.
Virtually every multinational company needs to audit its foreign operations for compliance with local EHS requirements. Global Applicability & Audit helps you understand a country’s EHS compliance obligations, how those obligations are enforced, and what agencies have regulatory authority. We make it easy to identify areas that are out of compliance and weigh the level of risk. Dual-language scorecards (available for multiple jurisdictions) let English and non-English speakers work side by side from the same document.
With Global Applicability & Audit, you can:
• Use guide notes to understand a requirement or answer a compliance question.
• Customize your audit by selecting only those topics that apply to your facility.
