ISO 14001:2015 Consultant

ISO 14001:2015 3 Minutes

ISO 14001 is the international standard that specifies requirements for an effective environmental management system (EMS). It provides a framework that an organization can follow, rather than establishing environmental performance requirements. Part of the ISO 14000 family of standards on environmental management, ISO 14001 is a voluntary standard that organizations can certify to. Integrating it with other management systems standards, most commonly ISO 9001, can further assist in accomplishing organizational goals.

The International Organization of Standardization (ISO) defines an environmental management system as “part of the management system used to manage environmental aspects, fulfil compliance obligations, and address risks and opportunities.” The framework in the ISO 14001 standard can be used within a plan-do-check-act (PDCA) approach to continuous improvement.

ISO 14001:2015 should be used by any organization that wishes to set up, improve, or maintain an environmental management system to conform with its established environmental policy and requirements. The requirements of the standard can be incorporated into any environmental management system, the extent to which is determined by several factors including the organization’s industry, environmental policy, products and service offerings, and location. ISO 14001:2015 is relevant to all organizations, regardless of size, location, sector, or industry.

I can provide authoritative, comprehensive and value-added consulting, training and certification services for either new certification for ISO 14001:2015 or helping organizations migrate from ISO 14001:2015 standard.

I provide awareness training, implementation training, internal auditor training, and lead auditor training to impart a required level of skill, knowledge, and competence for the employees on this revised Environment Management System standard.

I also provide a complete set of consulting services to help your organization identify requirements as per the ISO 14001:2015 new standard and map the compliance requirements as per ISO 14001 revision to your current processes.

What are the requirements of the ISO 14001 standard?

An Environmental Management System requires a documentation system to collect, analyze, register, and retrieve information

An EMS Documentation System should:

  • Describe the core elements of EMS
  • Provide directions to related documents
  • Support employee awareness
  • Facilitate evaluation of the system and environmental performance

What are Documents?

Documents offer guidance or explain actions to be carried out. Documents are materials that provide management directions. Environmental policy, internal standards and operating procedures, Process information, Organization charts, and Emergency plans Records are a special kind of document which verifies things that have happened. Environmental records include training records, audit results, reviews, monitoring records, waste disposal records, etc. Records must be maintained to demonstrate conformance to EMS requirements.

Some of the documents and records you may be associated with ISO 14001: 2015

  • Environmental Policy
  • Environmental objectives and targets
  • Roles, responsibilities, and authority for EMS
  • Communications from external interested parties
  • Procedures essential for operational control
  • Monitoring and measurement of key operations that have potentially significant impacts
  • Compliance with laws and regulations
  • Management review

They can be integrated seamlessly through the Integrated Management system approach.
