A guide to putting the integrated health, safety, environmental and quality (HSEQ) procurement procedure into practice. It explains what the procedure is, why it matters and the factors to weigh when you buy a product or service.
It shows how to tailor the procedure to high-risk, moderate-risk, low-risk and repeat purchases, with guidance for small companies, and who is responsible.
A seven-step process takes you from defining HSEQ criteria through risk assessment, supplier evaluation and selection to performance monitoring and record keeping.
