Safety Audits (Product & Process)

HCRQ has the resources to perform safety audits on products or on processes.

Some of the product safety audits we have performed have been simple (e.g., "please critique this document for us").

We are frequently asked to review SSPPs which represents a very sound investment.

Other product safety audits are, of course, more extensive.

There is often an interest in determining if one's product or process conforms to pertinent standards or best practice.

Problems Performing
Safety Audits?

The problem with safety audits is defining what they imply and what level of assurance is truly provided by them.

The outcome of a safety audit is extremely dependent on the skills, knowledge, and experience of the auditor.

Remember the phrase "garbage in - garbage out"? Caveat emptor.

Independence of the auditor is also a key factor in the success of the audit.
