The ISO 14001 Environmental Management System (EMS) focuses on that specific component of an organization's management structure that addresses the immediate and long-term impact of its products, services and processes on the environment. The ISO 14001 standard provides order and consistency in how an organization assigns responsibilities, allocates resources and evaluates practices, procedures and processes that affect the environment.

Problems are identified and corrected more quickly

Reduced liability and risk exposure (lower insurance costs)

Improved raw material selection

Defined approach to waste reduction and pollution prevention

Enhanced customer and community relations

Constructive relationships with regulatory agencies (and perhaps
fewer inspections)
More fully involved and motivated workforce (clearer definitions of
roles and responsibilities and team building)
Additionally, North American motor vehicle manufacturers are mandating that their direct suppliers obtain registration to ISO 14001 by the end of 2002. This directive is based on the belief that a defined EMS is an integral part of any well-managed company.

Omni Tech offers three types of ISO 14001 EMS training programs to meet customer needs.

Implementation of ISO 14001

Integration of ISO 14001 with ISO 9001


Each course can be customized for one or two days depending on audience needs and depth of instruction desired. The 2 -day courses allow for more breakout work sessions and participants can begin to develop actual outlines for use in a future EMS manual. These courses will allow participants to initiate a gap analysis to compare an existing environmental program to an EMS program that can be audited for registration under ISO 14001.
