Audit

At the request of TVA Occupational Health and Workers' Compensation, we performed a limited scope review to assess whether policies, procedures, and key control activities ensure compliance with TVA's Prescription Safety Eyewear Program requirements. In summary, we determined TVA's policies and procedures adequately address the eligibility requirements and process to be followed in order to obtain prescription safety eyewear. However:Policies and procedures regarding prescription safety eyewear (1) do not address the retention of supporting documentation for purchases of prescription safety eyewear and (2) are not being complied with by all the Safety Eyewear Coordinators. Policies and procedures could be strengthened to clearly identify the time frame constraints for obtaining replacement eyewear. Current identifiers used for employees are not unique to a single employee. TVA management agreed with our findings and recommendations and has taken or plans to take corrective action.
