Clinical Audit Program
We offer safety and operational audits aligned with the Canadian Standards Association Z275.1 standard.
Our audit program includes review of key documentation combined with an onsite inspection to identify areas of non-compliance. We provide solutions through risk assessment, mitigation strategies, or rectification.

Onsite Inspection
The onsite inspection evaluates the facility, equipment, and overall patient care processes to ensure safety and compliance. It includes observing patient flow, verifying staff training and medical clearances, and reviewing emergency readiness and procedural checklists.
- Inspection of the facility and equipment
- Observation of patient preparation and flow
- Inside attendant decompression tracking
- Medical clearance and staff training verification
- Review of checklists (start-up / go-no-go)
- Consent process review
- Emergency equipment and readiness
Referenced Standards
All inspections and reviews are guided by recognized industry standards to ensure safety, compliance, and best practices. These include engineering, safety, and operational guidelines for clinical hyperbaric facilities.
- ASME PVHO-2
- Risk Assessment Guide for Installation and Operation of Clinical Hyperbaric Facilities
- NFPA 99
- UHMS Hyperbaric Facility Design and Operations Guide
