Nearly 100 countries are working together to establish verifiable environmental standards for business--and leading-edge companies are recognizing these ISO 14000 standards as a powerful competitive advantage in global markets. This book is the first managers guide to all aspects of ISO 14000 compliance, from planning and implementation through auditing and continual improvement. Authored by two respected environmental professionals, A Guide to the Implementation of the ISO 14000 Series on Environmental Management covers environmental risks subject to ISO 14000 standards, including air and water pollution; hazardous waste; underground storage tanks; and employee safety. It reviews each ISO 14000 component of the environmental management system and auditing standards, and provides an overview of the labeling, lifecycle development, and new product development standards. It also provides extensive print and floppy disk resources to streamline the process of ISO 14000 certification and ongoing compliance, including: * Worksheets. * Sample policy manuals. * Detailed questionnaires.
Learn how ISO 14000 compares with ISO 9000 and U.S. EPA rules; how to develop an ISO 14000 mission statement; how to analyze environmental processes; how to prepare and organize effective documentation, plan for continual improvement, prepare for emergency response, and successfully audit for compliance. A Guide to the Implementation of the ISO 14000 Series on Environmental Management is an essential resource for any professional responsible for environmental health and safety, for ensuring conformance with international regulations and standards, or for evaluating the costs and benefits of ISO 14000 compliance.
