mitigate their consequencies and taking preventive action to prevent the recurrence.

4. Opportunity for Improvement

The legal limit stated in the Noise Regulations for 8 hour equivalent of unprotected

exposure is 85 dB. While reviewing the noise measurement report, the 8 hour equivalent for the

last mewasurement 1 month ago was 86 dB. The manager in charge explained that since the

noise level is only slightly above the noise limit, they did not plan to implement any changes to

the machine other than issuing the affected qworkers with ear-plugs.

The auditor may consider checking the procedure for OSHAS Clause 4.5.3, check if

investigation is made, check provision in the procedure for criteria for raising CARs and if theres

provision for conduct of HIRADC. If inadequate, raise CAR against OSHAS Clause 4.5.3.

5. Minor Non-Conformance

At the time of the audit, the f. were noted:

a. No HIRADC was conducted for the decommissioning and dismantling activities for the

absorption type chillers.

b. No Aspect Evaluation/Impact Evaluation was evident in records since six months ago.

Thus, the environmental aspects of the activities cannot be identified taking into account

planned or new or modified activities. Also those aspects that have significant aspects cannot

be determined. This is agains Clause ISO 14001: 4.3.1 which requires the organization to

ensure that significant environmental aspects are taken into account, document this information

and keep it updated.
