Periodic compliance questionnaires

Periodic compliance questionnaires should be sent to the operating unit to review the progress on those recommendations that were made to reduce risk, but were not required to be or completed before startup. It is necessary to verify recommendations have been completed and this must be acknowledged in the records. Recommendations which were further studied and later deeded impractical or capable of creating additional troubles must not be allowed to remain in limbo. These items should be resubmitted to the process safety committee for reevaluation. 

An auditing questionnaire must take into account the company s actual condition. This condition is then compared to one that is in compliance with legislative enactments in a given society at a certain period of time.
