ISO 14000/14001 Pre-Assessments /Gap Analysis

 

I will conduct a third party assessment/audit (gap analysis) of your existing Environmental Management System (EMS) which will determine the level of compliance of your facility to EMS standards such as ISO 14001.

 

I will conduct an assessment on the current EMS and general condition of the company. This will include interviewing key personnel in each department or area. For example, this may include the management team, team leaders, supervisors, office staff, operators, etc… The assessment will entail the investigation and assessment of existing EMS elements as they apply to the applicable standard. It is a comprehensive review of a company's EMS and procedures. Non-compliance's to the standard are noted, and a report issued.

 

It will also include some general questions to determine the overall condition of the company. For example, questions to determine some of the strengths and weaknesses(opportunities for improvement) of the organization. This will help us identify any barriers that may prevent you from obtaining your goal of Registration.

 

The responses will be summarized and reports will be issued (including recommendations) and reviewed with the management team. The information gathered here will be used to develop your implementation and action plans. I will provide you with a detailed written report and recommendations for improvements. A needs assessment is an ideal way to start a EMS implementation program or to ensure your company is in the position to successfully pass a registration audit.
