Mike Sharkey - Manager, Environmental Health & Safety Services, North America writes:

"Before switching to Audit XL, we used an Access database for our auditing system. It was very difficult to use and to make changes, since there were several linked databases and we needed to make sure they corresponded properly. We modify our audit annually and try to improve on it. Audit XL has made that process very simple for us.

On our old system, even simple changes could take days. With Audit XL, it’s a matter of a few minutes. Audit XL also enables us to weight the scoring scale for different answers, since some safety and health issues are much more significant than others. It’s a much more versatile system, and very easy to use. I’m able to develop new audits ... in addition to health and safety, we can use Audit XL for manufacturing excellence, quality and environmental audits. Simple compliance audits are a dime a dozen, but none of them look at management systems the way Audit XL does.

If you want to implement a safety management system designed to fit the specific needs of an individual organization, there’s nothing else out there like Audit XL.”

Paul Gilhooley - Former Business Improvement Director writes:

“Working with our clients we have to operate to the highest standards of Health, Safety & Environmental legislation – we also have to ensure that, throughout our diverse operations, our procedures fully meet all the needs of our Clients’ systems.

We implemented Audit XL in 2005 as a HSE Audit System – we use it to benchmark our systems against those of each of our Clients – this enables us to produce a comparative score for each site against each of 11 Key Elements – this has been an extremely successful (and high profile) exercise for RBC – and has provided many examples of ‘learning transfer’ amongst our Client community. The use of Audit XL by RBC has been highly successful to the point where we now carry out quarterly audits on all our Clients sites and share the learning to all participants.

We looked at several applications before deciding on Audit XL – some much larger and more expensive. The structure of Audit XL and the obvious thought and expertise that has been incorporated into its design is evident and, in our opinion, gives it a significant lead in its sector. This combined with the ability to ‘customise’ its design to meet many situations and the willingness of the KRIHOS Organisation to listen to their user base and incorporate changes makes an already excellent system outstanding.

We have already moved on with Audit XL and we are now using its highly innovative structure to audit our (and our Clients) preparedness to undertake Major Turnarounds/Shutdowns/Projects – this is already proving highly successful as it provides early indication of major issues that could have a serious impact on the success or otherwise of the project.

We highly recommend Audit XL and KRIHOS, they are BOTH user friendly, innovative and focused.”
