The course explains what the standards are, how the quality systems works, and how everyone should prepare themselves and their work areas for the certification audit. The workbook is intended for distribution to all personnel for self–study or group training, and it includes a short multiple-choice test and a certificate of completion. This course satisfies ISO 14001 requirements for training personnel in understanding and operating the quality management system.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

This ISO 14000 series is the latest addition to our publications on management standards. In 1992 we published Jack Kanholm's ISO 9000 series and in 1995 his QS-9000 series. Both established themselves as the reference of choice for understanding, interpreting and implementing these standards - selling over 90,000 copies. The ISO 14000 series is very similar in its structure and approach. In this series, we also published a book about the legal aspects of implementing ISO 14000, by S. Wayne Rosenbaum.

From the Author

Encouraged by the success of my ISO 9000 and QS-900 books, I decided to write a similar series for the ISO 14000 standards. I wrote these books as much for myself and my colleagues as for the environmental managers that are on the receiving side of the audit. As a professional auditor I have to be perfectly clear and certain what the requirements of the standard are, and there is no better way to clear one's mind and consolidate the experience than writing a book. Being the first truly technical texts on this subject, the books are my input into the professional standard of practice for ISO 14000 interpretation and auditing. With my previous books I learned that people implementing management standards in their companies need authoritative and technical texts that will enable them to fully understand where the bottom line is for each and every requirement of the standard; and that they appreciate the directness, focus, clarity and simplicity of the writing. This is a proven, winning formula that I used again for the ISO 14000 books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Envoirnment Management - systems orientation, September 16, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: ISO 14001 In Our Company, Self-Study Course for Personnel (Paperback)

A very well presented book especially for those organisations who are either on the journey to ISO 14000 implementation or are planning.

It provides as excellent toolkit for those individuals who are to be invlved in the envoirnment management systems.

We have used it in our organisation for the team and found it extremely helpful. We have used it for training and evaluation of employees and in the assesment of their strenghts and weaknesses.

On these basis it has enabled us to identify training need analysis.

We would there fore reccomend it as a compulsory addition in every company library.
