Auditor Arrival
Auditors arrive at the facility and provide their business cards upon entry. Please
be sure to notify your entry security guards in advance of their visit.
Opening Meeting
Auditors will hold an opening meeting with the Facility Contact, production and
personnel managers and any other managers you wish to have present. During
this meeting, the auditors will describe the assessment process and answer
questions.
Employee Interviews
A sample of employees will be asked to participate in voluntary interviews
conducted in private without management presence. These may be conducted as
individual interviews or in groups. If the facility contracts employees from a
Staffing Agency, these employees will be within the scope of the assessment. The
number of employees sampled will be determined by the Auditor on the day of
the assessment. Workers will be asked general questions such as the facility’s
hiring policies, length of employment, working conditions, employment practices,
disciplinary policies, freedom of movement during non-working hours, etc. It is
acceptable for employees to be notified that the audit will occur, but in no way
should they be guided or instructed on how to answer the auditors ‘questions.
Document Review
Review of documentation including Facility documents (labor policies, business
license, production records, health & safety programs and documents,
environmental documents) and Employee-specific documents (employment
contacts, personnel files, labor notices, Payroll documents, and Time records). A
more detailed list of required documents is provided during the scheduling
process and during the opening meeting as well.
Closing Meeting
At the conclusion of the audit, a meeting will be held with the designated Facility
Contact and other management personnel as necessary. The auditors will review
the audit results, answer questions, and provide law clarifications and references
as necessary. An audit summary document will be provided that outlines
the audit results, the recommended corrective actions to make future
improvements, and recommended timeframes for action to be taken as
determined by and acceptable to the Client. The designated Facility Contact signs
the Audit Summary, verifies that he or she understands the findings and makes
any comments if so desired.
