Boost the Effectiveness of Audit Programs
Auditing is a powerful tool for improving management systems and achieving sustainable results, but many organizations do not maximize the return on their audit program investments. Why? Because many audits fail to uncover information that management can use to achieve performance excellence.
Since 2005, organizations have relied on us for management systems and regulatory compliance auditing services. We have trained more than 1,500 auditors and helped dozens of organizations attain certification to ISO 14001, ISO 9001, ISO 45001, Responsible Care© and related management standards and achieve compliance to EPA, OSHA, DHS and DOT regulations.
- 100% first time certification success for all clients globally
- Improvements of 90% to 98% in first pass quality, which positively impacted clients’ bottom line

Many organizations conduct regular internal audits to meet the requirements of management system standards, including ISO 14001, ISO 45001, Responsible Care©, the ISO 9000 series and the FDA cGMPs. Effective internal audits require a significant investment of time, competence and effort; but help is available.

ROC One has been conducting environmental, health and safety (EH&S) audits for over 10 years for all types of facilities. Our clients value and trust the findings from the EH&S compliance audits, to comprehensively evaluate the current regulatory compliance of the facility with permits federal, state and local regulations Corporate and Facility Procedures and Policies and Best Management Practices.
In the past, ROC One has worked successfully with internal and external legal councils to help determine specific compliance issues. For example, ROC One performed a full TSCA audit at the corporate and facility level to help the client evaluate it’s compliance strategy and legal options. The audit results provided the corporate council and senior management with the necessary information to provide the federal authorities with an effective compliance approach.
The objective of conducting a SVA is to identify security hazards, threats, and vulnerabilities facing an organization, and to evaluate the countermeasures to provide for the protection of the public, workers, national interests, the environment, and the company. With this information security risks can be assessed and strategies can be formed to reduce vulnerabilities as required. SVA is a tool to assist management in making decisions on the need for countermeasures to address the threats and vulnerabilities.
ROC One provides SVAs at the site and corporate level including IT Security. ROC One security experts have worked in the US, Europe and the Middle East conducting various types of SVAs. Read more about our Security Services here…
A Security Vulnerability Assessment is essential part of the American Chemistry Council (ACC) Security Code and as such a requirement for all ACC member organizations. In addition, as part of any Responsible Care© management system (RC14001© as well as RCMS©) an SVA needs to be performed to ensure that the necessary security related compliance evaluation is performed before any certification audit can occur. At the site and corporate level, the SVA is an important input into the management review in order to provide management with a clear understanding of the status of the security impact of the Responsible Care management system(s) in order to ensure its overall continued suitability, adequacy and effectiveness.

Client Testimonials
It is my belief that ROC One’s internal audit was the key factor in setting us up for a successful certification audit. After addressing the non-conformances and OFIs that ROC One pointed out, we were in good shape for certification. Also, the EHS&S staff and plant personnel were better prepared and more confident when answering questions and offering evidence during the certification audit.
ROC One has been a key resource in helping us improve performance through the implementation of effective management systems. Their expertise and broad industry experience has proven invaluable to our efforts. But it is their passion for the subject matter and their ability to trigger enthusiasm in the people they are working with that sets them apart and truly builds value for our company.
ROC One provided customized solutions for our needs and had a major impact on the effective implementation of our Responsible Care management system. Impressive are their auditing and training skills, including a great mixture of theory and practice. Beyond a consultant, ROC One is our business partner.
