Auditing is an essential part of the implementation of all safety programs. The purpose of an audit is to verify that the procedures, policies, and practices developed for compliance with a specific regulation actually address the requirements. Perhaps, more importantly, the purpose of an audit is to verify that the procedures, policies, and practices are followed as planned. Kazarians & Associates, Inc. provides program audit services for all safety related regulations—specifically: OSHA Compliance, Process Safety Management (PSM), Risk Management Plan (RMP), and California Accidental Release Prevention (CalARP). Experts are assigned to audit projects that have extensive experience with the implementation of compliance programs for the specific regulations, and the specific processes present in the target facility.

Our audit process always includes a review of the documents available at the facility, interviews with facility management and key personnel, and direct observations of the conditions at the facility. From this document review, the level of completeness of the documentation is established. From interviews, the level of understanding of facility personnel is assessed related to program requirements. These interviews also allow the auditors to gain an understanding of the conditions and events in the facility that may be relevant to program implementation. Our audit reports always contain two types of recommendations: one set of recommendations address non-compliant conditions, and the other set addresses suggestions to improve the level of safety, or to avert potential non-compliance conditions. These recommendations also typically include guidance for achieving the desired implementation.
