Azura-Edo Independent Power Plant Environmental Impact ... - IFC

10.4.4 Auditing
construction, installation, operations and decommissioning stages of the
proposed Project.
Beyond the routine inspection and monitoring activities conducted, audits
will be carried out internally by Azura Power to ensure compliance with
regulatory requirements as well as their own EHS standards and policies.
Audits to be conducted will also cover the subcontractor self-reported
monitoring and inspection activities. The audit shall be performed by
qualified staff and the results shall be reported to Azura Power to be
addressed.
The audit will include a review of compliance with the requirements of the
EIA and ESMP and include, at a minimum, the following:
• completeness of EHS documentation, including planning documents and
inspection records;
• conformance with monitoring requirements;
• efficacy of activities to address any non-conformance with monitoring
requirements; and
• training activities and record keeping.
There will be a cycle of audits into specific areas of the Project such as waste
management. The frequency of audits will be risk based and will vary with
the stage of the Project and will depend on the results of previous audits.
10.4.5 Corrective Action
10.4.6 Reporting
Investigating a ‘near miss’ or actual incident after it occurs can be used to
obtain valuable lessons and information that can be used to prevent similar or
more serious occurrences in the future.
Azura Power will implement a formal non compliance and corrective action
tracking procedure for investigating the causes of, and identifying corrective
actions to, accidents or environmental or social non-compliances. This will
ensure coordinated action between Azura Power and its subcontractors. The
EHS coordinator will be responsible for keeping records of corrective actions
and for overseeing the modification of environmental or social protection
procedures and/or training programs to avoid repetition of nonconformances
and non-compliances.
Throughout the Project, Azura Power will keep the regulatory authorities
informed of the Project performance with respect to EHS matters by way of
written status reports and face-to-face meetings. Azura Power will prepare a
report on environmental and social performance and submit it to FMEnv. The
