Blackbird EHS Services
Compliance audits are a method of determining an organization’s adherence with applicable or selected legal environmental, health and safety requirements. These requirements are found in municipal, provincial and federal acts and regulations such as the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, BC Workers Compensation Act and Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, BC Environmental Protection Act and Hazardous Waste Regulation and others. Compliance audits consist of intensive site visits, interviews with personnel and detailed record reviews.
Blackbird provides Lead Auditing services as well as supplying audit team members to internal audit teams as required. Our approach to compliance auditing follows the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Z773-03 guideline and for EHS management system audits we follow ISO 19000.
Staff at Blackbird have worked with numerous clients to implement and develop their environmental management systems (EMS), and integrated environmental health, and safety management systems (EHSMS) to meet their corporate objectives. This service includes working with corporate managers to develop policies and procedures that form the framework of a management system. Development often begins with conducting an initial environmental review, and is implemented through core manual development, creation of relevant environmental performance indicators, monitoring and measurement programs, and EHS reporting.
