HSE AUDITS Saudi Geophysical Consulting HSE Audits: help to protect the interests and well-being of employees, customers, visitors and local communities.They provide assurance to management that the Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) risks of a particular operation are well controlled and managed, and that the operation is being executed competently, in accordance with license conditions and relevant legislation. They evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of an HSE management system. It is the expectation in producing this guideline that geophysical contractors will take over the activity of commissioning and conducting audits and subsequent follow-up reports. These would then be made available to clients upon request, and accepted by them, provided that they are carried out in accordance with this guideline. In order to assure the quality of audits, it is expected that they will include elements of assurance external to the operation being audited. It is an expectation that an HSE-effective operation is a cost-effective operation, and that audits should help to encourage personnel to be more HSE conscious, through a learning process. The resources committed to the audit should be sufficient to meet its intended scope. Clients may wish to verify the contractor’s audit process, for example by conducting an occasional audit themselves, as part of their own HSE management system. The scope should state the audit criteria, standards, rules, regulations and work instructions or guidelines against which the audit findings will be assessed.
