A supervisory activity, such as an audit, is usually notified some time in advance. It normally begins well before the audit team goes into the field, usually through meetings with the relevant company where both management and employees are represented. When visits are planned to offshore facilities or land plants, separate meetings take place with the industrial safety service to ensure that employee views find clear expression.

Supervisory activities are summed up in separate reports, which form the basis for determining how nonconformities, improvement points and other findings are to be followed up. It could be appropriate, for example, to issue an order – a decision the company is legally bound to comply with.
