Latest developments concerning SHEQ audit

Published: 04/11/2024

As the grain storage industry is unique and has unique risk and mitigation applications for those risks, the need for audit criteria focussed solely on the grain storage sector has been raised. The idea is to have an audit document that covers all the aspects that grain storage facilities should comply with. This document will be drafted by a drafting committee from the sector with the help of external parties who will be part of the audit process.

Issues that will be discussed at the Agbiz Grain SHEQ seminar on 7 November this year include: What are the advantages and disadvantages of such an audit document? Will all members of Agbiz Grain participate? Will this add value to the work SHEQ teams perform in the industry? What are some of the basics we would like to see in such an audit document? The following panel members will assist in reaching conclusions: Gerard Ramage of VKB Group, Ebbe Rabe of Price Forbes, Jaco Joubert of Overberg Agri, and Japie Greyling of AFGRI. – Agbiz Grain
