WCA factory inspection introduction and content


WCA stands for Workplace Conditions Assessment. WCA audits provide cost-effective solutions for companies that are committed to improving factory conditions while helping them comply with widely recognized industry standards and best practices.


The WCA audit standard is adjusted from the GSCP standard adopted by large retail organizations. Relying on Intertek's deep experience in social responsibility compliance services, WCA has become a powerful tool to help companies implement supplier factory assessments, benchmark assessments, and achieve continuous improvement. The online platform built by Intertek makes the audit process smoother and more intelligent, greatly improving the work efficiency of supply chain members.


WCA factory inspection focuses on the following:


Health and safety - overall work environment and facilities, emergency response capabilities, work-related injuries, mechanical operation safety, potential workplace hazards, hazardous chemicals, accommodation environment and canteen facilities.


Management system - filing of documents and records, worker feedback and participation, review and improvement measures.


Labor - child labor, forced labor, discrimination, discipline, harassment and abuse, workers' freedom of association and labor contracts, wages and hours - compensation and benefits, working hours.


Environmental – compliance with regulatory requirements, environmental management systems, waste and air emissions.


Additional note: WCA factory audit is a social responsibility factory audit developed by ITS, which is much easier than ICTI. WCA is a system, similar to a checklist. The WCA audit standard is adjusted from the GSCP standard adopted by large retail organizations, and has become a powerful tool to help companies implement supplier factory assessment, benchmarking, and continuous improvement.
