Identification of Environmental Aspects and Impacts

Introduction:

Environmental aspects and impacts are the driving force behind any environmental management system, yet identifying them can be the most challenging part of implementing an environmental management system (EMS).
 
This 2-day course covers both legal requirements and EMS system requirements for aspects identification and inclusion in the EMS documentation. Exercises include practical how-to approaches, documentation requirements, common measurement practices, and sample document formats and suggestion to simplify the identification, measurement, and monitoring processes. During this course, participants will learn a proven method for identifying environmental aspects and impacts using the process approach. They will also learn how to involve everyone in their organisation and get buy-in from all levels.
