I have a question - We just completed our Stage 1 audit phase for RC14001 certification - we had a different auditor on the 2nd round and he did not like my significant aspects/impacts - hazards risks analysis.
It doesn't matter what the auditor likes or dislikes. Do you have a procedure to perform this task and do you use it consistently and is it effective? He can take "his likes" and chug on them. I'm an auditor and I should probably know.


I considered current controls in place when determining my probabliity In my opinion, the controls would reduce the likelihood.
Good one and absolutely acceptable

The auditor told me I should not have even considered the current controls - did I miss something somewhere?
No you didn't miss anything and from what you are saying the questionof competency comes to mind and it isn't yours.

To me common sense says you have to consider your current controls?? Now I feel lost again!
You aren't lost, someone else is. You're managing risk and if the risk is being effectively managed with the present controls in place I fail to see what the question is.


You're doing it. Keep on.:agree1:

Just a quick update...I have not been posting for a bit due to 3rd party audits. We just completed our our 3rd party audits for Responsible Care/RC14001/ISO14001 and were successful and recommended for certification.

There were the first 9 under the requirements of the American Chemistry Council - planning to add an additional 11 in this year. - That only leave 134 facilities to go! (I am tired already) HA!

I dont see much discussion about Responsible Care in these threads - anyone out there an ACC Member or RC Partner?
