Washington, DC (May 5 , 2007) – BNA and Specialty Technical Publishers today announced the launch of BNA Auditor, a flexible, Web-based, environment, health and safety compliance auditing tool, developed jointly by the two companies. 

BNA Auditor has been developed for corporate and independent auditors, compliance managers, and facility-level self-assessors as well as consultants. It has been designed specifically to integrate both Federal and State audit protocols for Environmental and Health & Safety topics.

BNA Auditor allows auditors to build the series of templates customized to a single site or multiple sites based on the applicable regulations pertaining to the specific business practices at these locations.   In addition it will create a list of citations applicable to the facility.

It contains everything needed to prepare an EHS compliance audit checklist from anywhere, at any time, using any web browser.  In addition BNA Auditor offers the ability to:

• Link directly to the text of federal and state regulations
• Integrate state questions with relevant federal requirements at the exact point in the audit template
• Integrate Environmental and Health & Safety into one audit template
• Immediately hone audit protocols as conditions and circumstances change
• Easily access Expert Federal and State Guide Notes and supporting information
• Save, share, and export customized EHS audit checklists and compliance management reports
• Minimize risk and demonstrate due diligence
• Save time and money

“BNA Auditor is getting rave reviews from corporate and independent auditors, consultants, compliance managers, and facility-level self-assessors,” said BNA’s EHS Executive Editor Audrey Hipkins. “Because it is so flexible – easy to use for any EHS audit, yet offering the ability to drill down for more technical language and data when the complexities of a situation demand it – it meets the needs of auditors at every level.”
