• Environmental Aspect & Impact Identification

The heart of ISO 14001 is the identification of aspects and their potential environmental impacts. Eagle Force has developed a FMEA-like process that greatly simplifies this activity. Once the significant impacts have been identified and ranked, the development of Environmental Management Programs follows easily enough. Again, Eagle Force has developed highly effective working models for these environmental management programs.

• Documentation Development

To have a truly robust management system there needs to be a suitable documentation system. Documents need to be brief, to the point, applicable to the organization, and easy to understand and use. Eagle Force Consulting has developed templates along these lines to facilitate the development of a documented system. It is not necessary to re-invent the wheel.

• Internal Auditor Training

A strong, solid internal audit program is essential to the development and continual growth of an improvement based ISO 14001 management system. In many cases the environmental internal auditing can be melded with the existing internal auditing program so that there would be no need to maintain two separate systems. Eagle Force Consulting has developed the premier internal auditor training course available. Most of the lessons are taught in a Socratic-style using actual case studies. Internal audits must evolve with the management system, with emphasis changing from documentation to implementation to effectiveness. Auditors in this course learn how to perform process-based internal audits in each of these phases.

• Management Representative Development

The Environmental Management Representative is not only the key person in maintaining an improvement based ISO 14001 system, but also has the greatest opportunity within the organization to make a positive impact in the competitive advantage. One of Eagle Force’s primary objectives is to see that this person is a success.
