Reference Manual on Environmental Audits published
The English version of the “ARPEL Reference Manual - Environmental Audits – Offshore Seismic Operations, Refineries and Service Stations” has been recently published. The document contains a description of standard environmental auditing procedures, including information on audit planning, execution, reporting, and follow up. The appendices to the document contain audit checklists that –although developed for the refinery, service station/storage facilities, and offshore seismic operations of Petroleum Corporation of Jamaica - can be adapted for their use by other companies with that type of operations. The appendices also contain forms that can be used by the audit teams. The checklists and other audit tools can and should be modified and updated by the users as their audit programs progress. The document was developed in the context of the ARPEL Governance Project funded by CIDA and co-managed between ARPEL and ESAA.
