Environmental Management Systems

Mentoring and development services

Our EMS mentoring process consists of periodic visits to the site from one of our experienced management system consultants. The consultant will meet with the EMS Coordinator and work through one or more stages of development and implementation. Tasks completed during the mentoring process include training delivery, documentation review, management reviews, gap analysis and Intelex software implementation.

The Coordinator reports to the mentor using our Mentoring Program Sheet. This documented record of activities prior to the visit, during the visit and prior to the next visit is an extremely effective way of communicating progress to the organisation's management.

Custom tools development

We can tailor management system tools to align with your organisation’s environmental management goals such as conformance with or certification to ISO 14001 including:

• Software systems (Intelex)
• Risk assessment
• Legal compliance assessment checklists
• Environmental improvement plan templates
• Training development and delivery
• Emergency preparedness and response
• Monitoring and measurement tracking and reporting tools
• Internal audits

Implementation services

The design of your EMS must be followed by implementation. This requires constant effort and often results in a two to three year process (if nothing is in place at the start) which can involve:

• Induction training
• Communication programs
• Risk assessment sessions
• Training programs
• Management reviews and steering committees
• Internal audits
• Designing, delivering and supporting Intelex software applications

Maintenance and support services

We’ll ensure you keep up with the changing world of environmental management by:

• Updating risk registers
• Keeping you updated with legislative changes and compliance trends
• Updating skills
• Facilitating management reviews
• Providing Intelex software updates and ongoing support
• EMS and Intelex training

Systems integration

An EMS is intrinsically linked to several organisational areas including health and safety, quality, human resources, administration, purchasing, operations and production. We can assist you to realise the benefits of an integrated system through improved efficiency, uniformity and streamlined communication, using specialist software(Intelex) if required. The diagram below shows how EMS links to other management systems. (Click to enlarge)

Certification

Certification involves independently verifying that your management system meets the criteria specified in the relevant national or international standard. We assist organisations to achieve certification to established standards such as ISO 14001 by helping them through the process of certification by a third party independent certification body.
