SECTOR QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions.
Common questions from this sector, answered directly.
Can quality, environment and safety be audited together?
Often yes. Integrated audits reduce disruption when scopes and sites overlap; planning confirms the sampling.
Do you audit night shifts?
Audit planning covers shifts where the certified activity runs. A system that only works on day shift is a finding waiting to happen.
What about outsourced processes?
Outsourced processes inside your scope must be controlled and evidenced. The audit checks how.
