QHSE Advisory Services

Second party environmental health and safety (EHS) regulatory compliance audits represent a critical quality assurance mechanism over a company’s suppliers, contractors, or business partners.  Bureau Veritas’ second party EHS audit services provide structured methodologies, expert auditors, and standardized reporting frameworks that add credibility and consistency to the audit process while helping companies mitigate operational, legal, and financial risks associated with EHS non-compliance. By conducting second party audits, organizations can identify potential compliance gaps, operational hazards, and areas for improvement before issues escalate into incidents, regulatory violations, or reputational damage.  Audit findings generate actionable recommendations and corrective action plans that help suppliers enhance their EHS performance. 

First party, or internal, EHS audits are a core self-assessment tool used to systematically evaluate an organization’s environmental, health, and safety (EHS) compliance practices, management systems, and operational performance. These audits support proactive risk management by identifying compliance gaps, operational hazards, and improvement opportunities. Regular first party audits help assess adherence to regulatory requirements, internal policies, and industry standards across operations. This self-directed approach reinforces management’s commitment to EHS excellence, strengthens EHS culture, and demonstrates due diligence in maintaining a safe and compliant workplace. With professional audit services, Bureau Veritas’ methodologies, trained auditors, and customizable reporting frameworks ensure consistent, rigorous audits that strengthen EHS performance and reduce operational risks.

Is your organization truly in compliance? Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) compliance is one of the most critical and complex challenges facing modern businesses. Across manufacturing, construction, healthcare, and other regulated industries, non-compliance can lead to penalties, operational disruption, reduced investor confidence, and damage to your reputation. Bureau Veritas EHS Regulatory Compliance Consulting provides the strategic support needed to assess your current compliance posture, identify gaps, and design integrated, industry-specific solutions. We help you build a sustainable framework that drives operational excellence, reduces costs, and strengthens competitive position. Our approach includes comprehensive audits and risk assessments, customized policies and procedures, implementation roadmaps with clear accountability, staff training programs, and ongoing monitoring and improvement.

Unlock the true safety potential of your organization. A Quality, Health, Safety and Environmental (QHSE) culture assessment evaluates and enhances human performance and safety culture maturity, enabling sustainable workplace safety transformation through data-driven insights and actionable recommendations. Organizations using our QHSE Human Performance Culture Assessment can expect measurable improvements, including stronger safety culture maturity, 20–40% reductions in incident rates, and increased employee engagement across all levels. Leadership alignment supports a unified safety vision, while sustainable change embeds behaviors resistant to regression. Together, these outcomes enhance reputation, reduce insurance costs, and position your organization as a leader in workplace safety.

What if your organization could identify and mitigate hazards before they become crises? Many companies rely on reactive safety measures, addressing hazards only after incidents occur. Our Hazard Identification (HAZID) and Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) assessments shift organizations to proactive safety management. HAZID identifies hazards related to industrial processes, equipment, chemicals, environmental conditions, and human factors. HAZOP uses a structured, team-based method to examine deviations from design intent, evaluate consequences, assess safeguards, and recommend improvements. This approach mitigates risk by identifying hazards early, supports regulatory compliance, and improves operational efficiency while maintaining safety standards. It also reduces costs by preventing accidents, downtime, and liabilities, and strengthens stakeholder confidence in your commitment to safety. Let's better protect your assets, your team, and your reputation.

Your organization’s certification success depends on a clear, accurate understanding of where compliance gaps may be hiding—and whether those gaps could jeopardize audit outcomes, customer trust, or market access. Bureau Veritas conducts comprehensive, on-site gap assessments that act as a strategic health check for your food safety system. Our consultants evaluate your programs, employee practices, and facility conditions against industry-leading standards like SQF, BRCGS, FSSC 22000 or applicable regulatory requirements, providing insight grounded in deep industry expertise and delivering practical, prioritized recommendations designed for your operational reality.

Your food safety resilience depends on identifying internal risks before they escalate into costly disruptions, reputational damage, or compliance failures. Bureau Veritas delivers systematic, documented internal audits that evaluate your food safety management system against required standards and internal policies—providing a clear, objective view of your true compliance posture. The result is a stronger food safety culture, reduced operational risk, and an empowered internal audit team equipped to maintain excellence with confidence, which also supports your need to satisfy internal audits in your certification audit.

A strong food safety culture begins with teams who understand the “why” behind every requirement and can apply that knowledge in real operational environments. Bureau Veritas offers a wide portfolio of Food Safety courses—delivered onsite or virtually—that engage cross-functional groups such as production, maintenance, purchasing, and quality. Through interactive discussions and exercises connected to everyday challenges, our training helps employees strengthen practical understanding and reinforce consistent, compliant practices. Courses can be tailored when requested, with discussions and activities aligned to your facility’s processes and workflows to make the content more relevant for your team. Ultimately, our training empowers your team to apply food safety principles with confidence and consistency, strengthening the culture your entire operation depends on.

Building a high-performing internal audit program requires more than classroom learning—it requires guided practice that brings skills to life. Bureau Veritas’ Bundle & Save offering delivers two powerful services in one: a private GFSI Internal Auditor training course and a fully completed, consultant-led Internal Audit. This integrated approach accelerates auditor competency, reinforces best practices, and produces a high-quality internal audit that improves readiness, reduces risk, and strengthens long-term operational resilience.
