SOUND FAMILIAR?
When a tender asks for your environmental management system
A tender asks for your EMS
The submission wants a documented environmental management system, and the deadline is close.
A client asks for procedures
A client or principal contractor asks how you manage waste, spills, dust and noise on their job.
Working towards ISO 14001
You want certification, but first you need a documented system for the auditor to assess.
Problems handled on the fly
Spills, waste and complaints get dealt with when they happen, with nothing written down.
Nobody owns it
Environmental duties sit with whoever is closest, and nothing gets recorded.
Starting from a blank page
Writing an EMS yourself means weeks with the standard before you write a word.
Clients, tender panels and certification bodies want to see how you manage your environmental impacts, not just hear about it. A documented EMS is how you show them.
WHAT YOU NEED
What is an EMS manual, and who needs one?
An environmental management system (EMS) is the set of policies, procedures and records a business uses to manage its environmental impacts, meet its compliance obligations and keep improving. The EMS manual sets it all out: who is responsible, how you identify environmental aspects and impacts, the controls you use, how you respond to emergencies and how you check it is working. AS/NZS ISO 14001 is the Australian and New Zealand adoption of the international standard for environmental management systems.
Use your EMS manual for
Tender and prequalification submissions
Showing clients how you manage environmental risks
Getting ready for AS/NZS ISO 14001 certification

Recording incidents, inspections and corrective actions
Who uses our EMS manuals
Building, construction, civil and demolition businesses
Manufacturing, industrial and workshop operations

Businesses tendering for government and larger clients
A manual on its own won't get you certified. Certification to AS/NZS ISO 14001 is issued by an accredited certification body after it audits your system in practice. Our manual gives you the documented system to put in place, and the forms to build your records on.
