Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book can assist employers and prospective and practicing auditors to better understand their respective roles and also the potential value to the organisation of a well-designed and conducted audit undertaken by a competent auditor or audit team."
Rob Strange, Chief Executive, Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), UK

"This [book] is an excellent read, brilliantly written by two authors who clearly know their subject, express their approach well in straightforward language that even the non-specialist will grasp, enhanced by good graphics and layout which, quite simply, make it the best book on the subject currently available. If you are an HSEQ auditor, or have ambitions in this field, I strongly recommend you study this book. As both an introduction to a vital organisational business process and a vade mecum for the working auditor, it deserved to become the standard work in this area."
Dr Andrew Rankine, Safety and Health Practitioner, July 2007

"All in all this is an excellent book by two authors who are among the best in the world at both auditing and training auditors. It is highly recommended."
Content 4 out of 4 stars, Presentation 4 out of 4 stars, Value 4 out of 4 stars.
Tom Gillanders, Health and Safety at Work, August 2007

"an interesting book for intending auditors who are seeking an introduction to auditing."
Health and Safety Review, July/August 2007
