Pertinent Fresh Information
Revised in 2003 to include the central requirements of ISO 19011-2002 Guidelines for quality and/or environmental management systems auditing. This international standard was introduced in 2002 and covers the auditing of management systems. The standard has been incorporated into this update and a section now discusses the integration with quality health and safety and other management systems auditing.
What else is new?
The Environmental Self-Assessment section now offers a number of options - you can either print it out (from the CD-ROM) and fill it in manually or tab around the template, working on-screen.
The index has been fully re-written to capture each heading in the text, ensuring that you can quickly reference information.
Increased detail and explanation of the type of environmental audits, the variances between each state and territory including the appointment and role of an environmental auditor.
A new legislation matrix that makes it easier to assess the environmental areas each piece of legislation impacts. This matrix is grouped by Commonwealth legislation, as well as by legislation in each state and territory.
The section on commissioning an environmental audit has been expanded to include reasons for conducting the audit, as well as the objectives and extent of the audit program.
