Full transcript

1. 0:00Hello from ISO Central secretary in Geneva  Switzerland and Welcome to our video on ISO
2. 0:0514001. Today we'll be talking about ISO 14001  and help you understand why it's important for
3. 0:11you and your business. So, what is ISO 14001?  ISO 14001 is a globally recognized standard that
4. 0:19provides a framework for an environmental  management system, that's EMS. This helps
5. 0:26organizations minimize their environmental impact  and comply with applicable laws and regulations.
6. 0:31The standard was first published in 1996 and  since then has been revised several times.
7. 0:37ISO 14001 is based on the plan do check act  that's PDCA cycle and requires organizations
8. 0:46to establish an environmental policy, identify  their environmental aspects and impacts,
9. 0:52set environmental objectives and targets,  implement operational controls, monitor and
10. 1:09So to get ISO 14001 certified you'll need to  follow the following steps first you develop
11. 1:15an EMS that meets the requirements of the iso  14001 standard this involves identifying your
12. 1:21organization's environmental aspects and impacts,  setting environmental objectives and targets in
13. 1:28implementing operational controls to  minimize your environmental impact;
14. 1:32next, you'll need to implement the EMS and make  sure it's working effectively this involves
15. 1:37training your employees on the EMS monitoring  your environmental performance and reviewing and
16. 1:49ISO 14001 is important because it helps  organizations reduce their environmental impact.
17. 1:54It helps to improve environmental performance  and comply with environmental regulations.
18. 2:00By implementing an EMS, organizations can identify  and manage their environmental risks, they can
19. 2:07reduce their resource use and waste generation  and enhance their environmental performance.
20. 2:12Compliance with environmental regulation is also  an important aspect of 14001 as organizations are
21. 2:18required to comply with applicable environmental  laws and regulations in order to be certified.
22. 2:24Additionally, ISO 14001 can enhance an  organization's reputation with customers,
23. 2:30investors and other stakeholders by  demonstrating a commitment to sustainability.
24. 2:35How do you implement ISO 14001? To implement ISO  14001, you'll need to first of all understand the
25. 2:44requirements of the standard: this involves  familiarizing yourself with ISO 14001 and its
26. 2:50requirements as well as identifying any additional  requirements that may apply to your organization.
27. 2:56You'll also need to establish an environmental  policy and objectives: this involves developing
28. 3:02a policy that outlines your organization's  commitment to Environmental Management as
29. 3:07well as setting environmental objectives and  targets that align to your organization's goals
30. 3:11and priorities. You'll also need to develop  an EMS that addresses environmental risks
31. 3:17and opportunities: this involves identifying your  organization's environmental aspects and impacts,
32. 3:22also implementing operational controls  to minimize your environmental impact,
33. 3:28and establishing procedures to monitor and measure  your environmental performance. Be sure to train
34. 3:34your employees on the EMS this involves ensuring  that all employees understand their roles and
35. 3:40responsibilities within the EMS and are trained to  implement the procedures and controls established
36. 3:45in the EMS. You'll need to monitor and  measure your environmental performance:
37. 3:51this involves establishing procedures to  monitor and measure your environmental
38. 3:55performance and track progress towards  your environmental objectives and targets.
39. 4:01Finally you'll need to review and continually  improve your EMS: this involves conducting
40. 4:07periodic reviews of your EMS to identify  opportunities for improvement and making
41. 4:12changes as necessary to enhance your environmental  performance. What's the difference between ISO
42. 4:1814001 and ISO 45001? ISO 14001 in ISO 45001 are  two separate standards that address different
43. 4:27aspects of an organization's management system.  ISO 14001 is focused on Environmental Management
44. 4:34while ISO 45001 is focused on occupational  health and safety management. While there are
45. 4:41some similarities between the two standards  such as the plan do check act, PDCA cycle,
46. 4:46and the requirement for continuous Improvement  there are also significant differences in the
47. 4:51specific requirements of each standard. For  example, ISO 45001 requires organizations to
48. 4:58establish procedures for hazard identification  and risk assessment while ISO 14001 requires
49. 5:04organizations to identify and manage their  environmental aspects and impacts. What's the
50. 5:10difference between ISO 14000 and ISO 14001? ISO  14000 is a family of standards that includes ISO
51. 5:1814001 as well as several other standards related  to Environmental Management such as ISO 14004 and
52. 5:25ISO 14006. ISO 14001 is the most widely recognized  and adopted standard within the ISO 14000 family
53. 5:34and provides a framework for organizations to  establish and maintain an effective EMS. While ISO
54. 5:4014000 provides a broad overview of Environmental  Management Systems, ISO 14001 provides specific
55. 5:48requirements for implementing an EMS that meets  the ISO 14001 standard. In summary, while ISO
56. 5:5514000 provides a broad framework for Environmental  Management ISO 14001 provides specific
57. 6:01requirements for implementing an effective EMS.  Organizations can use the guidance provided by
58. 6:07ISO 14000 to enhance their overall Environmental  Management efforts while implementing ISO 14001
59. 6:14can help them achieve specific Environmental  Management goals and objectives. That's a wrap on
60. 6:20ISO 14001. If you have any questions or comments  please leave them in the comments section below.
