The Opening Conference

The Opening Conference

 Housekeeping  Safety Orientation for Visitors (include

PPE)  Meet and Greet Time  Explain the Process(es) at site  Have a Plan for Emergencies

Site Tour

 Housekeeping  Presentations  Safety for audit team members (it’s your

turn to watch them!)  Informal Interviews  PPE Condition/Usage by employees  Contractors  Allow Time for Q&A

Housekeeping

Housekeeping

 Can’t say it too much-If it’s clean they usually keep walking

 You can’t make a first impression twice!  If it’s not clean-What do you think?  There is usually an excuse not a reason

it’s not clean- The audit tem will ask questions and the employees will answer

 It may become a 90 day item or a recommendation on the audit report

Presentations

Mid Day Presentations

 Usually by team members not management  Don’t need testimonials-better to supply facts not

opinions  Keep to 10 min and provide handouts to team

members  Don’t turn the lights too low and/or the heat too

high! You may loose them  Make sure the teams are staffed with a number

of different members. Not same team different name.

Safety for audit team members

 Remember they are guests. They are not usually familiar with your site/process.

 Watch them! They can wander off.  Make sure they have the proper PPE. It’s

embarrassing to have a audit team member wearing the improper PPE after they get out into the facility.

 Have a plan if there are PSM areas, security issues and/or lack of access to certain areas

PPE Condition/Usage by employees

 Make sure they wear it!  Wear/store/inspect it properly  Know why they have to wear it  Know about chemical/physical hazards in

their area

 These are extreme examples but don’t get lax.

Contractors Too!

Allow Time for Auditor’s Q & A During the Tour

 The WWWHW (Who, What, When, How & Why)  Is the condition Industry Specific?  Is there a know standard?  Are there letters of interpretation?  Get answers ASAP. Take Pictures!  Don’t be afraid of a “shout out” to outside

experts,  This may be an area near and dear for the team

member. You just may learn something.
