ISO 14001 Environmental Systems Handbook

ISO 14001 Environmental Systems Handbook
By Ken Whitelaw

Description:
ISO 14001 Environmental Systems Handbook Second Edition outlines the scope and purpose of the standard, making it accessible to all.

The author begins by explaining the concepts of the standard, which sets the tone for a practical guide to implementation of an ISO 14000-compliant environmental management system, which also covers the consultant's and auditor's perspective.

The case studies from industries that have actually undergone the process have been updated to include information on their progress toward environmental objectives in the 18-24 months following implementation. A new case study from a service organisation ( a car lease company) will be added. Finally there is input from training organisations and certification and accreditation bodies to assist with trouble-shooting and assessment. Additional information is also included on international legislative issues. Comparisons with ISO 9000 will also be fully updated to reflect revisions to this standard.


The book will offer the reader a range of options for implementation, and guidance on which is the best option to suit the particular organisation's culture.

* Fully updated to meet the new 2004 amendments to ISO 14001
* New case studies to show how ISO14001 is being implemented and is working for key organisations
* Proven track record of making understanding and implementing ISO14001 accessible

Environmental management system ISO 14001

Description:
Environmental management system ISO 14001 -35 searching questions and contrasting pairs of examples The book is intended as a guide and work book for people taking part in a self evaluation process. The book describes the contents of the ISO 14001 standard using 35 questions and contrasting pairs of examples. The book can be used to help you understand the standard without any training. The book can be used to identify areas for development by comparing your own practices with those stipulated in the standard. The examples in the book help the self evaluation participants to understand what each of the questions means. For every question, an evaluation is made of its importance, as well as its current and target performance capability, on a scale of 1 - 5. The self assessment question form can be opened in the screen and filled out while reading the book. After filling in all the questions the result can be printed out. You do not need to be familiar with the ISO 14001 standard in order to answer the questions, just give your evaluation on the basis of your own imagination. The book’s job is to help you develop your imagination. The book, questions and self evaluation process can be adapted as a development tool and training material for the organisation even if the organisation does not adopt the ISO 14001 standard.
