Plan your system with confidence

Having learnt the concepts and understood the requirements of ISO 14001, the next step is to plan your EMS (environmental management system).

Your plan should establish the current situation, the objectives, and how to get there, and will greatly help to focus efforts cost-effectively.

In Enviro Manager, various tools provide you with the framework to go about that task methodically and with confidence.

The Gap Analysis Charts are detailed checklists - to self-assess how any existing controls measure up to the requirements of the standard, and then outline any improvements necessary to comply.

This document will be a most valuable aid in planning your system.

To help you manage the development or updating of your system, the System Project Plan divides the project into 5 key stages for:

1. Understanding
2. Planning
3. Documentation
4. Implementation
5. Verification

...and then provides a timeline for each itemised component within those stages.
