1. Breadth of EHS Expertise
- EHS audits and compliance reviews
- Fire and electrical safety audits
- ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 consulting
- Behaviour Based Safety
- HAZOP, HIRA and process safety
- Emergency preparedness and training
2. Industry Understanding
A consultant should understand the operating risks of the client’s industry. Requirements for a manufacturing facility, construction project, warehouse, pharmaceutical plant or commercial campus can differ significantly.
3. Practical Recommendations
- Immediate risk-reduction actions
- Engineering improvements
- Procedural and administrative controls
- Training and competency requirements
- CAPEX and OPEX actions
- Long-term improvement priorities
4. Clear Reporting
Reports should clearly explain the observation, risk, applicable requirement, recommendation, priority and action owner. Management should be able to understand major risks without reading an unnecessarily complex report.
5. Implementation Capability
Organisations often need support beyond the initial audit. Look for consultants who can support CAPA closure, SOP development, training, committee mechanisms, ISO implementation, BBS programmes and management review.
6. Pan-India Delivery Capability
For multi-location organisations, the consultant should be able to apply consistent methodology, risk classification and reporting across sites while recognising local operational differences.
7. Questions to Ask Before Appointment
- What industries have you worked with?
- What standards and requirements will be used?
- Who will conduct the assignment?
- What will the final report include?
- How will findings be prioritised?
- Do you support corrective-action closure?
- Can you support multiple locations?
