No. VAP audits are carried out by RBA-approved audit firms. We prepare your facility.
What does the RBA Code cover?
Five sections: labour, health and safety, environment, ethics, and management systems.
What is the self-assessment questionnaire?
The questionnaire RBA members use to understand a facility's risk before deciding on an audit.
Do recruitment fees matter for RBA?
Yes. The Code prohibits workers paying recruitment fees, which is a frequent finding with migrant workers.
