BEAC announces a new certification program:

Certified Process Safety Auditor (CPSA)

The CPSA is an attestation of a process safety auditor's education, experience, training, personal and professional skills and attributes, and adherance to the BEAC Code of Ethics.

"Professional Experience Recognition" will be accepted during Phase 1, and is a way for individuals to obtain the CPSA designation before the CPSA exam is finalized. View the Phase 1 / Phase 2 differences here. The Phase 1 deadline for applications is September 30, 2012 (documentation deadline is December 31, 2012).

Download a flyer of the CPSA program and Phase 1 Qualification Criteria here.

If you are already a CPEA, please use the application here.

If you are new to BEAC, please review additional information about the certification process here and use the special application form here.

EHS Audit Practices Survey results

A 2010 survey of corporate-level EHS audit practices of more than 50 U.S.-based multinational companies produced interesting results. As a follow up, BEAC and The Auditing Roundtable asked participants to complete a survey with 18 additional questions to help identify common EHS audit program challenges, issues, and opportunities; validate current practices; and identify ideas for further improvement of existing audit processes. The responses were presented and discussed at The Auditing Roundtable conference in Philadelphia. In addition, BEAC sponsored the use of audience response devices with 12 new questions, and provided immediate feedback of the results during the conference.

Survey results can be viewed here. (The open ended responses are included at the end of the survey).

The audience response questions and responses can be view here.
