Conducting a Site Audit

One of the most effective ways to improve your facility's containment of pellets is to identify the areas where spills/losses occur most frequently and fix them.

  1. Use the site audit checklist to audit every transfer point at your site.
  2. Identify the major spill areas.
  3. Determine the cause of spills in each area.
  4. Research/Brainstorm ways to solve each problem.
  5. Implement the simplest effective solution.
  6. Follow up to measure success.
  7. Repeat if necessary.

Most companies may not perform all of the operations on the site audit checklist. Customize the checklist to suit your facility. Add any missing operations.
