Description

ISO 14000 is a series of international standards that deal with environmental issues. The first of this series, ISO 14001, specifies the requirements for an Environmental Management System (EMS) which is the part of an organization’s overall management system used to manage environmental issues. ISO 14001:2015 provides organizations with a systematic methodology to understand strategic implications of environmental management, address adverse effects on the environment or the organization, satisfy compliance obligations, and leverage opportunities for improvement. Environmental issues are at the forefront of corporate priorities today. They present risks and opportunities to both the local/regional environmental conditions and to the organization’s objectives. Having an EMS is important for aligning environmental priorities with business priorities, ensuring that processes for preventing and mitigating environmental impacts are effectively implemented throughout the organization, and driving continual improvement. One of the processes within an EMS that drives improvement is an internal audit.

This highly interactive course takes students through all stages of an internal EMS audit, using realistic case studies and exercises to emphasize the business value gained from conducting effective audits. Through workshops, discussions, and role-plays participants will learn to develop an effective audit program, and how to plan, conduct, and report on an EMS audit in accordance with ISO 19011, Management System Auditing Guidelines. This course will help students learn to accurately interpret and audit against the ISO 14001:2015 requirements. Participants can use these skills to establish or enhance an existing internal audit program and perform internal EMS audits in a manner that provides the greatest business benefit.
