Which of the following is an environmental audit designed to protect?

An environmental audit is used to identify and control environmental health and safety risks in a facility, reducing the owner’s exposure to liability. By locating hazards such as asbestos, lead-based paint, mold, improper chemical storage, or contaminated soil, the audit helps establish required controls, remediation steps, and documentation to show due diligence. This protects the owner from health-hazard liability and potential lawsuits, fines, or insurance issues. Rent increases, city code enforcement, and overtime relate to different areas (lease economics, municipal compliance, and labor law, respectively) and are not the primary focus of an environmental audit.
