Looking for clarification on the following role definitions, mainly on how an auditor will view them...
- Document Author ? Person who will have direct responsibility for this process/procedure via implementation and/or oversight
- Approving authority - someone who has ?technically reviewed these and says they do conform to company, Federal, and State regulations?
- Management Representative - verifying that the documentation is now under document control, that it meets the ISO standards, and that he now has control. (Since these are regulatory issues, if MR is not EHS, he should not be approving anything. )
Basically, we have an EHS department of one and a U.S. corporate HQ half-way across the country. We are wanting to keep document approval in-house and not have to send EVERY update for another signature.
Our EHS manager is really the only one who knows the state regulations and thus should be the approver, but since EHS also has responsibility for the procedure, he should also be the author....:mg:
Essentially, our consultants are taking US HQ's docs and scrubbing them for us... so now I am trying to determine the signatures I need on these!!!
Stressed... Stage 1 in two weeks!!!!!
Anyone have stock in the whiskey business... how about a kick-back... please!!!!
