The ‘Environmental Management Regulations’ training course deals with the English and Scottish Regulations relating to environmental management and environmental management systems as they apply to businesses. ISO 14001 and the ‘European Community Environmental Management & Audit Scheme’ (EMAS) provide a formal structure for environmental management, which can be independently verified. External accreditors can certify sites that meet the requirements of the standard, thus allowing customers, insurers, the public and other stakeholders to have confidence that the company is taking positive steps to improve its environmental performance. The ‘Environmental Management Regulations’ training course can be used as part of environmental management system training for certification to ISO 14000 and EMAS.
This ‘Environmental Management Regulations’ training course covers: ‘Overview of Legislation’, ‘The main provisions of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and other related legislation’, ‘Chemical storage, handling & disposal’, ‘Energy & the environment’.
