We don’t just assess risks; we evaluate enterprise‑wide challenges and work closely with your teams to turn compliance into a strategic driver of organizational progress.

By collaborating with site‑level employees and focusing on what matters most, we help you build a stronger, more consistent EHS approach that supports long‑term improvement and better decision‑making.

Our EHS audits give you a clear, independent view of how well your organization is meeting regulatory requirements and applying best practices. We tailor every audit to your needs—whether you want to strengthen compliance at your highest risk sites or gain consistent insight across your full portfolio.

Our approach combines a structured process with a focus on what matters most to your business. We measure the right indicators, highlight what’s working, and provide guidance that supports meaningful improvement. Your dedicated audit team partners with you throughout the process, offering coaching to help participants understand requirements and the benefits of stronger performance.

Using digital tools, we gather and visualize audit data to help you see trends and opportunities across your operations. We also adapt our methods through hybrid audits, maturity models, internal team development, and risk-based reviews.

Together, we turn compliance into a strategic driver of organizational progress.

External EHS auditors give you an independent view of your operational and regulatory performance. They bring deep experience in health and safety compliance, environmental regulations, and industry best practices. Their assessments help you spot compliance gaps early, reduce operational risk, and improve the accuracy of your reporting.

They also strengthen your team by sharing practical techniques and up to date regulatory insights. For organizations with limited resources or complex compliance requirements, an external auditor provides fresh perspective that supports safer operations, stronger environmental compliance, and improved overall EHS performance.

BSI auditors look beyond individual findings to help you understand patterns across your organization. Through aggregated EHS audit data analysis, we highlight trends and emerging risks that may not be visible at a single site.

We turn these insights into clear, actionable recommendations that help you strengthen regulatory compliance, improve risk management, and move from basic compliance toward long term operational excellence.
Our approach is collaborative and transparent. BSI auditors explain requirements clearly and share observations in real time to help your team improve performance. We also highlight strengths and successful practices so you can build on what already works well.

This approach helps you gain value beyond the audit itself, supporting continuous improvement across your EHS management system.
A focused audit targets your highest risk activities and compliance areas, helping you allocate resources where they’ll create the greatest value. While comprehensive EHS audits review a broad set of requirements, a focused audit goes deeper into specific hazards or compliance concerns.

Focused audits don’t replace full audits—they complement them by offering targeted insights that strengthen your EHS risk management strategy and support faster improvements.

Focused audits are particularly effective in high risk industries such as construction, manufacturing, and utilities. When resources are limited, a targeted review prioritizes issues with the highest potential for serious injury or regulatory scrutiny—such as tie off at height, crane lifting plans, lockout/tagout, or confined space entry.

For environmental compliance, sites with complex or multi media permits benefit from a detailed review of each permit condition to ensure accuracy, consistency, and full regulatory alignment.

Timelines are flexible based on your audit scope and operational needs. A standard BSI EHS audit timeline includes:

six weeks before the site visit: introductory email and scheduling of the pre-visit call;

four weeks before the visit: pre-visit call to gather site information and confirm logistics;

three weeks before the visit: pre audit document request and agenda confirmation;

on site visit: typically two to five days, depending on site size and complexity;

three weeks after the visit: draft report shared and review call scheduled;

four weeks after the visit: review call held and final report provided.

This structure ensures a clear, efficient, and consistent audit process.
Deliverables can be tailored to your audit program. Most clients receive:

a concise summary of audit activities;

detailed findings linked to regulatory or management system requirements;

photographs that support corrective actions (where allowed).

These deliverables help you prioritize improvements and maintain a strong, consistent EHS compliance program.
