Health and Safety Hazards - Environmental Management Systems

An environmental management system (EMS) is a collection of systematic processes and practices that allow a company to reduce its environmental impact while improving its operational efficiency. An EMS is ongoing and knowing its objectives and targets will help you understand its benefits and importance to your company. An EMS is developed and improved in a five-phase cycle. This course will guide you through each phase in detail, to help you build yours to meet the ISO 14001 requirements, an internationally approved standard for an organization’s environmental performance.
