ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT TRAINING COURSE (ISO 14001) (VERSION 1.0)
Code No 828
In recent years, environmental awareness has grown significantly. Many major
companies have responded by establishing an environmental policy and
implementing programmes to minimise the impact of their operations on the planet.
However, as green issues have attracted more attention, it has become apparent
that businesses must show just how effective they are in meeting their stated
environmental targets. For this reason, companies are increasingly adopting ISO
14001 to demonstrate and verify their green credentials.
This interactive CD-ROM entitled "ISO 14001 Environmental Management", has been
specifically designed to help mariners understand what the ISO 14001 standard is
and, most crucially, provide practical help in applying the company's environmental
management policy on individual ships. ISO 14001 provides a company wide
approach to environmental management and includes a commitment to ongoing
improvements in performance.
The course is divided into five modules:-
Module 1 covers the main principles that underpin an effective environmental
management policy
Module 2 defines environmental aspects and impacts of shipping operations and
explains how to identify them
Module 3 shows what is required for the initial environmental review and gives
practical tips on how to conduct the review successfully
Module 4 looks at how to set environmental targets and objectives and how to
benchmark them
Module 5 considers the measurement and documentation a company needs to
be able to demonstrate its compliance with its own environmental policy
As well as providing an overview of the ISO 14001 process, the course also provides
a wealth of practical examples that can be applied directly on board ship. The course
can be taken informally without accreditation, but it has been designed to lead to a
certified qualification from the Nautical Institute.
Further details about the accreditation programme are available within the CD-ROM.
The package is aimed at all shipping company personnel who are involved in
environmental management, but it will be of particular interest to officers on board
ship.
