What Users Are Saying About Audit XL

Jeffrey W. Vincoli, CSP Manager, ES&H Assessments & Procedures Bechtel Corporation - USA

Founded in 1898, Bechtel is one of the world's premier engineering, construction, and project management companies. Our 40,000 employees are teamed with customers, partners, and suppliers on a wide range of projects in nearly 46 countries. Bechtel has completed more than 22,000 projects in 140 countries, including Hoover Dam, the Channel Tunnel, Hong Kong International Airport, the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system, the reconstruction of Kuwait's oil fields after the Gulf War, Jubail industrial city, and the Alma aluminum smelter.

“We researched a number of the leading software applications available today for conducting environmental, safety, and health (ES&H) assessments of our projects worldwide. While all could do some of what we needed, none could do all of what we needed. However, the professionals at KRIHOS, International made the difference with their product, Audit-XL.

They met each of my requests, modified their software significantly, delivered new versions ahead of anticipated release dates, and, of most importance to me, provided quick, efficient, and professional response to all questions, comments, issues, and concerns. As a result of the company’s dedication to my satisfaction and their willingness to meet my demands, I have been able to accelerate the roll-out of Audit-XL to the entire company three months ahead of my original schedule.

We currently have in excess of 150 projects in more than 50 countries. All will be able to use Audit-XL to conduct highly detailed and comprehensive assessments of their ES&H programs to determine the exact level at which they are meeting or exceeding corporate expectations. The product will also identify shortcomings and areas for improvement and prioritize assessment findings in order of criticality so that management will better be able to formulate corrective action plans.

I would highly recommend Audit-XL, no matter how large or small the auditing task. It is extremely flexible and easily adaptable making it ideal for use at any level.”

Mike Sharkey  Manager, Environmental Health & Safety Services, North America  General Cable Corporation - USA

General Cable (NYSE:BGC), headquartered in Highland Heights, Kentucky, is a leader in the development, design, manufacture, marketing and distribution of copper, aluminum and fiber optic wire and cable products for the energy, industrial, specialty and communications markets. The Company offers competitive strengths in such areas as breadth of product line, brand recognition, distribution and logistics, sales and service, and operating efficiency.

"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  Business Improvement Director  R. Blackett Charlton Limited - United Kingdom
RBC is one of the largest Maintenance & Reliability Contract organisations in the United Kingdom providing services to several major international Companies in support of their major sites – Petrochemical, Nuclear, Bulk Chemicals, Refining, Power and Utilities. “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.”
