CSE works with EPA Ghana on Inspection and Audit manual

EPA Ghana has launched the Inspection and Audit manual which is collaboratively being prepared by CSE's Industrial Pollution team and EPA. This manual is a novel initiative from EPA towards ensuring compliance and strengthening environmental governance in Ghana.  

The manual details out how inspections and audits are planned, implemented, reported on and followed up by the EPA. It will also help ensure that inspections and audits are done more systematically while ensuring transparency and standardisation of operations among officials of the Agency across the country. Industries can also use the manual and do their self-assessment and inspections even before EPA officials go to their facilities to inspect and audit. 

Considering growing industrialization in Ghana, this manual will be an important document to rein in the non compliance of the industries and keep a tab on the action plans prepared by industries. This will also help EPA to maintain the database of the industries and analyse their environmental performance over the period of time
