Inogen Alliance supports global clients by completing hundreds of environment, health and safety (EHS) and sustainability compliance and facility optimization audits annually. Unlike our competitors we don’t hire subs or contractors, we use our own resources with their local knowledge and access to our global network of expertise. All of our Inogen Alliance auditors are experienced in the local spirit and intent of the regulations, speak multiple languages, and are trained to a client’s unique expectations for the audit program. Consistently consistent is our goal for our global auditing program – the same audit experience will occur regardless of the physical location. This allows us to trend results over geographies for our clients to be able to obtain more than simply a single audit report.
Worldwide Audit Programs
The global presence of Inogen Alliance is a key factor in much of the audit work we do with our clients. Without it, we would not be able to complete audit projects and audit programs, while providing value and building client relationships.

EHS Compliance Applicability Validity
Each site completed an Enhesa scorecard on their own. This involved reviewing specific questions to deteremine which regulations were in scope with the site's operations. Then, a screening tool was applied to remove all regulations that were not relevant. The site contacts then assessed each remaining regulation to determine if they were in compliance or not, or if the regulation was not applicable to them.
Next, our Inogen Alliance was sent the completed scorecards. Inogen reviewed the screening questions and the responses to each requirement within the scorecard. Our Inogen partners then had a call with the site contacts to review the responses and validate that they were completed properly. The finalized scorecard was delivered to the client after Inogen validated its accuracy.
There was a cost savings for the client in having each site contact complete the scorecard on their own. Additionally, the added benefit is that a local regulatory expert was able to review and validate each individual scorecard to ensure it was completed accurately. This allowed the client to be confident about the degree of accuracy in the assessment tool, since it was not originally completed by a H&S expert.
