Self Audits The Audit Process Audits are done Biannually (Feb. and Aug.). They are performed by persons as assigned by department, collage or Principle Investigator. Inspections help insure regulatory compliance. Forms can be found on EH&S web-site: http://bfa.sdsu.edu/ehs/IIPP/iippindex.htm Frequently Asked Questions Q: Are the Self Audits really necessary? A: Yes, they are. The audit covers the basics to keep an area within regulatory compliance. Every year, a County Hazardous Materials regulator comes to the Campus to inspect us and each year the same violations occur. These audits help remind us what to look out for! Frequently Asked Questions Q: Why do we need to do them twice a year? A: The audits are done just before the start or in the first few weeks of a semester. It is a way to get people thinking about safety from the very beginning. In fact, audits can be done as often as you like. Actually, if you want to remain compliant at all times, twice a year is not enough!!
