Environmental Management Systems (EMS)
The Environmental Management Systems (EMS) course provides training on developing, implementing, and maintaining effective environmental management systems. It equips participants with the skills to manage environmental impacts and promote sustainability practices within their organizations.
What is the Environmental Management Systems (EMS)?
The Environmental Management Systems (EMS) course from the American Institute of Safety Professionals provides comprehensive training on designing, implementing, and managing an environmental management system using ISO 14001 as the framework. An EMS provides the systematic approach to managing an organisation's environmental responsibilities: identifying environmental aspects and impacts, ensuring legal compliance, setting environmental objectives, implementing operational controls, monitoring environmental performance, and driving continual improvement through management review. The curriculum covers the ISO 14001 framework (Plan-Do-Check-Act), environmental policy development, context of the organisation (internal/external issues, interested parties), environmental aspects and impacts identification (significant aspects determination), legal and other requirements (environmental legislation, permits, consent conditions), environmental objectives and targets, operational planning and control, emergency preparedness for environmental incidents, monitoring and measurement, compliance evaluation, internal auditing, management review, and the integration of EMS with safety management systems (ISO 45001) for combined HSE management. All training is delivered 100% online through the American Institute of Safety Professionals LMS.
