New ideas even for the experienced IS0 14001 practitioner,
By Dr Malcolme Logie (besc@iafrica.com) (South Africa) - See all my reviews

This authors have produced a book which should be helpful not only to the new ISO 14001 practitioner, but also to those who have years experience. The book provide ideas on how to develop an EMS which is not complicated, with examples of easy to read procedures for the core documentation of an EMS. The included GAP Analysis questions shall provide direction to those implementing their first/own EMS. Recommend reading for all.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Nothing to read,
By Alexey Spirin (Moscow, Russia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: ISO 14001 Implementation Manual (Hardcover)
It looks like ISO 14001 requirements + ISO 14001 comments + a few words of own opinion + some procedures from imaginary company (It seems they have never been at work). So If you have visited any ISO 14001 course, you don't need this book.
