MINIMUM ISO 14001 EMS

REQUIREMENTS

ISO 14001 EMS Standard is a set of guidelines

that is composed of specific requirements. These

requirements can be broadly divided into:

∞Administrative

∞Technical


REQUIREMENTS ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS: These are governing requirements that dictates the duties and responsibilities, corporate commitment and management strategies surrounding the implementation of ISO 14001 EMS. Meeting administrative requirements is largely driven by strategic decisions usually made by BOD and/or Senior Managers.


REQUIREMENTS ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS

∞Environmental Scope∞ Environmental Policy∞ Environmental Objectives∞ Resources, Roles, Responsibilities & Authority∞ Communication (Internal & External)∞ Control of Document and Records∞ Management Review (MR)


REQUIREMENTS

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS: These are science-based criteria

used to evaluate and improve the interactions between

operational processes and the environment (air, land, water,

animals, plants etc), which may be positive or negative in

nature. Meeting technical requirements is extremely driven by

the knowledge of Science and technical competencies of the

Environmental Professional (EP).


REQUIREMENTS TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

∞Environmental Aspects∞ Environmental Targets (KPIs – measure, analyze &

monitor)∞ Environmental Legal Requirements∞ Competence, Training & Awareness∞ Non-conformity, Corrective & Preventive

Actions∞ Environmental (EMS) Audit∞ Environmental Programs


REQUIREMENTS When developing the EMS Manual, It is imperative to

understand the inter-relationships between the administrative

requirements and the technical requirements. That the ISO

14001 EMS Standard only identifies what is required of your

EMS and not the details of the requirements or how to conduct

certain E-assessments, which is dictated by the competencies

of the Environmental Professional (EP).


REQUIREMENTS CRITERIA FOR DEFINING TECHNICAL COMPETENCE OF

ENVIRONMENTAL PROFESSIONAL (EP):

∞Educational qualification (minimum of B.Sc)

∞ ISO 14001 EMS training i.e. Lead Auditor

∞Minimum of 3-years & experience in EMS development

∞Certified Environmental Professional with reputable body.

ISO 14001 EMS IMPLEMENTATION BARRIERS

ISO 14001 EMS implementation: is the process of

establishing action-based components or

requirements of the EMS Manual and incorporating

those actions into the organization’s operational

processes. Implementation barriers: are those factors

that prevents the establishment of EMS.


There are many factors that can constitute a barrier to a

successful implementation of ISO 14001 EMS. The

followings are 10 barriers to successful ISO 14001 EMS

implementation :

∞Lack of Organizational Leadership Commitment

∞Defining Environmental Objectives


∞Poor Budgeting or Inadequate Funding

∞Challenges Finding Highly Competent EP

∞Non-retainership of Environmental Consultant

∞Setting and Measuring Environmental Targets

(KPI)


∞Quality of Environmental Aspects Assessment

∞Complexities of Organizational Structure

∞Size of Organization and Number of Employees

∞Complexities of Operational Processes


There are other barriers that may not have been

mentioned in this presentation. Some of the

additional barriers such as human errors, that are

not foreseeable and may hinder a successful

implementation of the EMS. Unforeseeable barriers

are dealt with as they arise.

EMS SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION STRAT.EMS deliverables are tangible components through which both Administrative and Technical requirements are met and continuous improvements are achieved. These deliverables must be:

∞Accurate

∞Relevant

∞Valid

∞Measurable

∞Repeatable

∞Analyzable

is largely dependent on the commitment of

organizational leadership and environmental

professionals involved at all levels or phases of

implementation, in conjunction with the

engagement of right resources that meets both
