ISO 14000 Implementation Program
PJC's comprehensive Implementation Program is tailored to meet your needs.
PJC consultants assist organizations in ISO 14000 environmental management system (EMS) development with the ISO 14000 Implementation Program. The comprehensive Implementation Program is designed for companies in the early stages of the ISO 14000 process. We make sure our clients are properly prepared for registration by tailoring our program to meet their particular needs.
When organizations write their own documentation, it can take up to two years. But with the PJC ISO 14000 Implementation Program, documentation writing time is cut by as much as 80 percent.
The ISO 14000 Implementation Program may include:
- Gap Analysis, in which PJC compares the organization's current EMS, if any, to ISO 14001 requirements, identifies nonconformities and recommends actions to achieve conformity.
- ISO 14000 Overview, describing EMS and registration requirements.
- Environmental Policy and Manual Development, creating documents that describe EMS policy, procedures, requirements, goals and structures.
- Procedures Development, covering methods, strategies and principles used to perform EMS activities.
- Registrar Liaison, contacting an accredited third-party firm that audits the EMS, its documentation and implementation for ISO 14001 registration.
- Management Representative Selection, assisting in choosing the person with day-to-day responsibility for EMS development and implementation, as well as liaison between management and the registrar.
- Procedures Implementation, ensuring EMS conformity to ISO 14001.
- Internal Audit Assistance, to monitor EMS implementation for conformity to ISO 14001.
- Corrective Action Assistance, to eliminate EMS nonconformities found during internal audits.
- Preassessment of EMS implementation to prepare for the Stage 1 and Stage 2 (registration) audits.
- Consulting During the Stage 1 and Stage 2 (Registration) Audits of the EMS, facilities, records and other documentation.
ISO 14000 Maintenance Program
Once ISO 14001 registration has been achieved, the environmental management system (EMS) must be maintained. The PJC ISO 14000 Maintenance Program can perform this work in a cost-effective and efficient manner, tailored to fit the client's needs.
The PJC ISO 14000 Maintenance Program may include:
- Internal Audits, which are a crucial component in EMS checks and balances, for discovering a major nonconformity during an internal audit can prevent registration from being revoked during the subsequent surveillance audit. PJC can conduct internal audits twice a year in a professional, efficient and even-handed manner.
- Corrective Actions, which are performed after surveillance audits to close out nonconformities.
The PJC ISO 14000 Maintenance Program frees up client personnel for regular job duties and costs less than committing a client employee to EMS upkeep.
