Waste management audit

Answer:

The first thing when auditing waste management is to see if there are any statutory and regulatory requirements regarding the type of waste being managed. If there are such legislation, then you need to see if the waste management process is compliant with these requirements first.

Then you need to see if there is any documented procedure or work instruction that explains how the waste management process is carried out and audit the process according to information provided in the procedure. This type of audit requires from the auditor to conduct interviews with employees and the manager responsible for the process to determine if the process is carried out as planned and also whether the process is effective.
