ISO14001
is a standard which allows organisations to focus their environmental
efforts against internationally accepted criteria |
|
It
requires an Environmental Policy to be in existence within the
organisation, fully supported by senior management |
|
The policy must be readily available to both employees and the
public |
|
The
policy needs to clarify compliance with Environmental Legislation
that may affect the organisation and stresses a commitment to
continuous improvement |
|
The
policy reflects the direction of the Environmental Management
System |
|
Periodic
audits of the system take place to ensure that it is effective
in operation, is meeting specified goals, and performs in accordance
with relevant regulations and standards |
