EHS MANAGEMENT
SYSTEMS & AUDITING
We develop, implement, and maintain comprehensive management systems tailored to your facility
There is no need to “FEAR” audits. Use them to your advantage!
Audits can be an excellent tool to help your facility achieve and/or maintain compliance.
We assist with the development of site-specific Management Systems designed to manage risks and maintain regulatory compliance, while accounting for the resources available at your facility.
Blue Heron staff have the expertise to help you develop a cost-effective, integrated Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) Management System that conforms to ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 standards, as well as other industry standards such as Mining Association of Canada (MAC) Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) and the International Cyanide Management Code.
