Hi All I am currently in the initial phases of developing an internal EHS audit program for site. We opeate a medium sized chemical facility employing approx 140 staff split over 5 departments. At the end of each audit I would like to calculate some form of tangible figure to demonstrate each departmens EHS performance against the audit criteria. Could anyone please point me in the right direction to get some examples of effective audit scoring systems which I may use or modify for use. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has implimented such a system in their workplace also. Thank you in advance for your help.

1 thing to note is 'like for like'; as measuring one department with/against another requires some sort of weighing system installed as it can be a very easy job for an office to get all that they need to do done but quite another task for another department to get all their 'need to do' stuff done yet both may be of a similar size etc you can set up your own scoring system e.g. 1 = All that needs to be done has been done 5 = All that needs to be done has not been done 2-4 = somewhere between 1 and 5 A point of any scoring systen is to reflect what has been / has not been done in a way that is understood by all that need to know

A much sijmpler system is: 0 = Has nothing in place 1 = Has something, but not fully compliant with the standard 2 = Fully compliant 3 = A new benchmark, to reset the audit standard in due course. Less judgement is involved here, and I've used it successfully. Any average score <1 means they must have some zeros, so some serious concerns. Anything approaching 2 means nearly everything is 'perfect'. In addition to the scoring for each audit element, the auditors should suggest what improvement actions are required for anything they score as a 1, so the auditee knows what to do, as well as their average sore.
