Perform HSE Management System Inspection using eAuditor

A HSE Management System (Health, Safety, and Environment Management System) is a structured framework that organizations use to manage and improve workplace health, safety, and environmental performance. It integrates policies, procedures, practices, and resources to identify hazards, assess risks, implement controls, and ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The system aims to prevent accidents, injuries, and environmental damage and promote a culture of continuous improvement in HSE standards across all organizational levels.
