Audit and Compliance
Interplex’s global EHS Audit program provides a means for objective assessment of the adequacy of EHS risk management at the site level. Our EHS audits add value by:
- Focusing on compliance with Interplex EHS standards and regulatory requirements
- Providing a comprehensive assessment of the adequacy of site risk management, including EHS and business continuity risks
- Outlining a summary of site EHS performance to site management, including identification of site management strengths and areas for improvement
- Engaging site-level EHS professionals to perform audits at other sites, maximizing technical knowledge across the network
- Encouraging knowledge sharing by identifying best practices and model programs that other sites can replicate appropriately
- Proposing solutions to close gaps identified during the audit process
Site Compliance
Corporate requirements for Interplex EHS programs place an emphasis on effective management systems for identifying and managing risks and potential environmental impact. The resulting Corporate EHS Standards include specific management system standards, structured to closely follow the ISO 14001:2015 framework. Our robust internal EHS audit program thoroughly checks implementation at the site-level to ensure this is done adequately. It provides assurance of robust EHS management systems at all sites audited. Interplex recognizes that external certifications — such as ISO 14001, ISO 45001 — are important in assuring performance. We strongly encourage all business units to operate externally certified systems, as these certifications bring valuable benefits to our sites such as reduced workplace incidents and accidents. We believe in holding our sites to uniform standards, and it is our intent to have all our facilities maintain compliance with International standards such as ISO Certifications.
- OH&S Certification Target: 100% of our manufacturing facilities to be certified ISO45001:2018 by 2024.
