An EHS audit (environmental, health, and safety audit) is an independent, third-party assessment of your organization’s compliance with OSHA, EPA, and related state and local regulations. A certified lead auditor evaluates your facility, records, and management systems, then benchmarks what they find against every applicable requirement. The result is a compliance gap analysis: a clear picture of where you stand today, and what needs to change before a regulator, insurer, or incident forces the issue.
In short: an EHS audit finds your compliance gaps before OSHA or EPA does, and gives you a corrective action plan to close them.
A CMI EHS audit typically evaluates:
OSHA or EPA inspection
Conducted by a regulator, and can result in citations or fines.
EHS audit
A voluntary third-party assessment, so gaps get found and fixed on your terms, not under regulatory pressure.
From a single-issue mock inspection to a full multi-media compliance audit, CMI scopes the assessment to what your organization actually needs.
Workplace safety audits, industrial safety audits, safety risk assessments, and injury and illness recordkeeping evaluations against OSHA standards.
Environmental compliance assessments covering air, water, and waste requirements, plus related state and local environmental regulations.
Benchmark your current compliance status against every applicable requirement, with a prioritized corrective action roadmap.
A simulated inspection so your team knows exactly what an examiner would find, and can correct it before a real visit happens.
Audits aligned to ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems, ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety, and related certification standards.
TSDF audits, acquisition and divestiture environmental due diligence, electronics recycling audits, and insurance risk and liability assessments.
We define the audit scope with you: OSHA-only, EPA-only, or a full multi-media EHS audit, matched to your industry and risk profile.
A certified lead auditor evaluates operations, documentation, and management systems against applicable requirements.

A CMI EHS compliance audit evaluates your facility’s OSHA workplace safety compliance, EPA and state environmental compliance, injury and illness recordkeeping, hazard communication and training programs, and required permits and written plans. The scope can be limited to a single issue, such as a stormwater or hazardous waste audit, or expanded into a full multi-media EHS audit covering both safety and environmental requirements.
An OSHA or EPA inspection is conducted by a government regulator and can result in citations, fines, or enforcement action. An EHS audit is a voluntary, independent, third-party assessment conducted before that happens, so compliance gaps are identified and corrected on your timeline, rather than under regulatory pressure.
An environmental audit reviews compliance with EPA and state environmental regulations covering air emissions, water discharge, and hazardous waste management. A safety audit reviews compliance with OSHA workplace safety standards, including hazard communication, PPE, and injury recordkeeping. CMI can conduct either independently, or combine both into one multi-media EHS audit.
Yes. A mock OSHA or mock EPA audit simulates a real regulatory inspection, so your team knows exactly what an examiner would look for and can correct any findings before an actual inspection or reporting deadline arrives.
Timing depends on facility size, industry, and audit scope. A single-issue audit is typically completed in a few days on-site, while a full multi-media audit for a larger or multi-site operation takes longer. We provide a specific timeline as part of your audit scope before work begins.
You receive a written report summarizing findings, a compliance gap analysis benchmarked against applicable requirements, and a prioritized corrective action roadmap. Many clients then engage CMI’s Partnership Program for ongoing compliance management to keep those gaps closed.
Cost depends on facility size, industry, and whether the audit covers a single issue or full multi-media compliance. Contact CMI for a scoped, no-obligation quote based on your specific operations.
CMI’s EHS auditing services connect directly to the full range of CMI expertise, from OSHA health and safety programs and EPA environmental compliance management to ongoing EHS Partnership Program support once your corrective actions are underway.
