Forensic audits coming

Following four major industrial fires in the last five years, the Barbados Manufacturers Association (BMA) will launch a forensic audit of more than 70 industrial companies across the country.
The aim is to make sure that every manufacturing entity in Barbados conforms to international fire safety standards, is properly insured, and has trained staff to identify trouble signs such as strange chemical odours or faulty electrical wiring.
Executive director of the BMA, Bobbi McKay, explained that they expect to start the audit next month.
