Environmental
management system
The Online OHS Environmental Management System (EMS)
is based on 5 key principles:
- Policy and Commitment - Develop an environmental
policy
and establish organisation commitment to the EMS
- Planning - During the planning process, identify
and evaluate
how the organisation’s activities impact the environment
- Implementation and Operation - when implementing
the
EMS, the physical, technical and human impacts should be
considered together
- Measurement and Evaluation - are key elements in
maintaining an effective EMS and ensuring organisations
meet legislative requirements and track environmental
improvements
- Review and Improvement - management review plays
a
fundamental role in ensuring the EMS is meeting the original
commitment stated in the environmental policy to ensure
continuous improvement
