Internal Environmental System Auditing


Once an organisation has implemented an Environmental Management System (EMS) there is a requirement to ensure that it continually meets the needs of the business. Internal environmental auditing is an effective demonstration of an organisation's commitment to ensuring that its EMS continues to serve those needs and acts as a driver for continual improvement.

This two day event provides delegates with an understanding of Environmental Management Systems and ISO 14001 together with the skills necessary not only to audit an EMS for compliance, but also to identify improvement opportunities.

It is suitable for those without any prior auditing experience.
