What is an Audit Checklist?
The Core Country Audit Checklist gives multinational companies the detailed requirements needed to conduct an environmental, health & safety self-assessment or audit of an office, retail store or service sector operation in a specific country.
The audit checklist builds on the information and value of a legal register by describing, in one simple statement, a specific EHS compliance requirement to which an office, retail store or service sector operation must comply. (In contrast, the legal register provides a general descriptive summary of requirements.) The audit checklist also includes checklist guidance notes written in plain language to help non-EHS professionals―such as office managers or retail clerks―further understand a checklist requirement.

Business Value
An Audit Checklist (often called a protocol) is a tool typically used to assess a site's compliance with predetermined criteria. In this case, the criteria are country environmental, health & safety laws and regulations that apply to an office, retail store or service sector operations. The Checklist is the right tool for:
Self-assessment
Internal corporate audit
Supplier compliance assessment
Regulatory guidance
Safety committee’s site inspection
Monitoring the effectiveness of an EHS management system
