Handbook for Implementing an ISO 14001 Environmental Management System : A Practical Approach

This handbook provides the reader with a full understanding of the elements of an ISO 14001 environmental management system (EMS) and how to design and implement an EMS for themselves. To clarify and illustrate how an EMS works, the book provides real-world examples from five companies. The companies range in size from a small manufacturer with 30 employees to a multinational health products company with 42,000 employees. The book is presented in an easy to read format with plenty of tips, charts and quotes from EHS managers who have "been there, done that". A glossary of terms and useful websites is included.
