AUDITING OF WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
GCS has the necessary skills and experience to conduct external waste management facility auditing for clients as per the conditions of the licences issued in terms of the National Environmental Management Waste Act, 2008 or the National Water Act, 1998.
GCS provides an objective assessment to the authorities or client in terms of how a waste management facility is managed and monitored and whether compliance with legal conditions are being achieved. The benefits of auditing include:

- Highlighting the environmental responsibilities of licence holders regarding waste management facilities, and encouraging the preservation of the environment for future generations
- >Providing for improved compliance with waste management facility licences and raising the standard of operation, monitoring, recording and reporting by highlighting non-compliance and problem areas
- Providing solutions to non-compliance and problem areas.
The following steps are followed by GCS when conducting a waste management facility audit:
1. A pre-audit meeting will be held with the client to determine the exact detail of all audits previously executed.
2. To ensure that all aspects of the site licence comply, a comprehensive audit control sheet will be used to record all compliance and non-compliance issues and recommendations. To assist with further deviations, a photometric system will be implemented. The audit will
include the following aspects:
- Review the existing licence conditions and requirements thereof
- Take into account the principle of cradle to grave waste management
- Collect and interpret existing available data and test results
3. GCS compiles a comprehensive audit report, which will include the following:
- The findings from the site visit and interviews with management
- The non-compliance issues
- The compliance items
- Interpretation of available data and test results.
- Recommendations and proposed solutions to non-compliant and problem areas
- Compliance auditing provides insight into possible ways of improving the waste management system in use.
