Environmental Audit ISO 14001
EN ISO 14001:2004 describes an Environmental Management System:
“14001” may be used by any organisation wishing to develop a formal environmental management system. 14001 is used to establish your current position through an environmental aspects review. Environmental aspects are elements of your activities, products or services that can interact with the environment.
The review covers four key areas:
- Identification of environmental aspects
- Identification of applicable legal and other requirements
- Examination of existing management practices & procedure
- Evaluation of previous emergency situations and accidents.
