INTRODUCTION
The questionnaire is intended to assist auditors by illustrating the potential scope to
be covered in the auditing process. The questionnaire is not intended as a script for
the audit process and interviews, nor is it intended that each and every question
should be used. It suggests generic lines of enquiry and requires to be tailored down
to suit the terms of reference for the specific organisation, activity or facility to be
audited.
The questions are grouped such that they cover distinct topics applicable within the
context of each chapter with an element of prioritisation i.e. high level questions are
given first where possible. Within each group of questions covering a distinct topic,
there are a number of indented subsidiary questions as follows:
The main question
· A subsidiary question of the main question
- A subsidiary question of above.
If a main question is a dead end it does not automatically follow that
subsidiary questions are dead ends as well.
In preparing for auditing the specific topic and developing the structure for
conducting audit interviews with selected staff, the auditor should:
· Review the section of the questionnaire to obtain an overview of relevance
within the context of the topic audited.
· Select the areas most relevant to the person he is going to interview.
· Identify the most important questions to ask whilst realising the
appropriateness in the context of relative organisational level of the
interviewee.
· Convert generic questions to questions which are specific to the facility or
activity audited.
· Add other questions which are not given in the questionnaire .
'HSE' in questionnaires means 'Health, Safety and Environment', not just 'Safety':
the auditor should make sure that all 3 fields are adequately covered
The questionnaire is available in Word for Window format on IBMPC 5.25" or 3.25"
diskette.
Audit questions are aligned to EP95000 Volume 13. Volume 1 questions (HSE
Management System) are common to all audits.
