INTERNAL AUDITS
Internal audits are carried out in order to determine if the Health, Safety, Environmental and Quality (HSEQ) management system is well implemented and/or if the system can be improved. Every single ship will be visited for an internal audit annually.
The master on board receives a copy of the internal audit report. If applicable, General Reports, used for the registration of non-conformities and observations/suggestions for improvement are attached. The HSEQ manager Fleet takes care of distribution of other copies. The master is responsible for the follow-up of the outstanding General Reports. If necessary, the HSEQ manager Fleet will assist.
As soon as ship related General Reports are solved, the master on board sends copies of the report back to the HSEQ manager Fleet, including possible evidence of the solution. The HSEQ manager Fleet keeps a register of all General Reports and controls the follow-up.
EXTERNAL AUDITS
External audits can be carried out in order to establish whether:
- the safety management system (HSEQ system) is implemented properly.
- the applicable certificates can be issued or endorsed.
The HSEQ department always contacts the master on board well in advance about the date of an external audit.
ON BOARD
The master receives the original external audit report. He takes care of sending a copy to the HSEQ manager Fleet. The master is responsible for the follow-up of possible non-conformities and/or observations. If necessary the HSEQ manager Fleet will assist. As soon as non-conformities are solved, the master completes the part “corrective action carried out” on the non-conformity notes, attaches possible evidence and sends them back the HSEQ manager Fleet. If applicable, he will brings the solutions to the attention of the LRQA who will close out the non-conformities. As soon as a non-conformity is closed, the HSEQ manager Fleet sends the original back to the vessel.

CHECKLIST
In order to check if working methods come up to the requirements of our HSEQ management system, a checklists is made. The audit checklist is based on the requirements in the ISPS code.
The following is covered by means of this checklist:
• Policy, organisation and management
• Management system including review
• Document control, certificates
• Procedures and instructions
• familiarisation
• Internal/external audits, corrective actions
• Emergency preparedness/drills and training
• Ship’s security
NON-CONFORMITIES
Only in case of hard evidence (must be documented), non-conformities are issued by means of a General Report. In case of doubt or non-structural errors (an “observation”), a General Report will be issued as well, stating a suggestion for improvement. The number of General Reports is stated on the cover sheet. Not all findings lead to separate General Reports: if applicable, more findings are summarised in one.
