Our environmental auditing services are scalable and range from a simplified high-level review of your facility's environmental management systems status, to an in-depth review of all relevant environmental compliance, environmental management systems, and best practices.
What Environmental Management System Auditing Entails
Our audits generally begin by gathering information from the site via a Pre-assessment Questionnaire. The team then conducts an on-site audit via detailed inspections, documentation reviews, and employee/ management interviews.
At a final debriefing meeting, the team reviews preliminary findings with the site management team. This is followed by the development of a written report that provides an overview of the approach; a detailed list of finding; and specific recommendations. We also provide a root cause analysis to help the site address why a particular finding occurred. A summary presentation to management is often provided following submission of the final written report.
Benefits of Environmental Management System Audits
Jaric ESH works with you to identify gaps in your Environmental Management System and opportunities for improvement. The audit identifies areas where an organization meets the requirements of the ISO 14001 standard and areas where the environmental management system must be supplemented. With ongoing improvement in these programs, your company will better manage risk, increase productivity, and meet compliance goals and initiatives.
Implementation of this standard in Trinidad and Tobago started mainly with the larger companies in the Oil and Gas sector. This has changed somewhat as other companies, service providers and subcontractors of these large oil and gas companies realize the benefits to be gained by such a system.
What an Environmental Management System Entails

Benefits of an Environmental Management System
Having a well-structured Environmental Management System can benefit your company in many different ways.
One of the main benefits is the education of all employees to their environmental responsibilities. Secondly you learn to identify opportunities to reduce waste in the company such as raw materials, utility use and waste disposal costs. Also you can reduce the risk of fines for non-compliance with environmental legislation. In addition you can ensure all operations have procedures to minimise their environmental impacts.
What Environmental Assessment and Resource Management Entails
The process involves an analysis of the likely effects on the environment, recording those effects in a report, undertaking a public consultation exercise on the report. We also take into account the comments and the report when making the final decision and informing the public about that decision afterwards. In this process companies must take a multi-sectored approach to the environmental and resources management.
Benefits of Environmental Assessment and Resource Management
There are always several benefits when it comes to taking care of the environment. With companies there is much to gain besides economic good. Companies contribute to a healthier local environment. They aid in the improvement of human health, the maintenance of biodiversity and decreased resource use. There are also fewer conflicts over natural resource use. And lastly there can be an increase in community skills, knowledge and pride.
