safety staff in the recognition, subsequent evaluation and control of health and safety
hazards in projects run by HydroGeoLogic Inc.

GENERAL:
A. State and Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administrations (OSHA)
require that companies periodically audit (inspect) their operations to monitor
health and safety hazards and control such hazards. HydroGeoLogic, Inc.
believes that facility and project audits will uncover health and safety hazards so
that they may be controlled, thereby reducing the frequency and severity of
occupational injuries and illness, an providing for a safer an more healthy work
environment.
B. In keeping with this belief, HydroGeoLogic, Inc.s has developed various
checklists to be used as an aid when auditing the company facilities and projects.
These checklist are intended for use by the Area and Office Safety Officer and by
various other personnel from HydroGeoLogic Inc. depending on the level of audit
required.
