Increasing pressure from Regulatory Bodies, internal environmental management systems, customers, and stakeholders may mean that you need to address the level of environmental awareness amongst your staff.

Staff may be ignorant of the environmental and legal impact of their actions with respect to materials usage, waste handling, and recycling. Likewise, use of resources such as electricity, gas and water have in the past been taken for granted, with disregard for costs and environmental impact.

The right training is vital in order to help staff understand your goals as a company, in achieving and maintaining any internal EMS, ISO 14001 or EMAS certification. Staff need to understand the laws surrounding your activities, in order to make sure they help the company stay compliant. Staff need to understand and to `buy in' to your green initiatives such as energy and water minimisation, waste segregation, and recycling schemes.

Typically courses include Environmental problems and human impacts on a global level Key environmental aspects of the company activities Government and Regulatory Bodies Overview of key Acts and Regulations affecting activities, emissions and discharges Pollution incidents, impact and repercussions Pollution prevention Overview of ISO14001 (or EMS) Company objectives under ISO14001, and staff involvement Energy, water and materials usage Waste minimisation, segregation and disposal Responsibilities of staff, and how they can contribute positively

We aim to make the course relevant to staff on global, personal (domestic) and work levels. Courses are illustrated with photographs, industry examples, practical exercises and discussions. We encourage the incorporation of specific company procedures, site specific examples and data.

We can tailor training courses to suit your needs and the abilities of all the staff involved. Training can be delivered to high level management right through to the key operational staff, such as goods in, stores, cleaning, security and administration.

Courses are typically concluded with a written assessment for attendees to demonstrate understanding and application of the knowledge gained through the training.The marked assessment papers are ultimately returned for staff records, and they provide excellent evidence of training for any internal or external audit purposes. Attendees successfully passing the assessment will receive certification.
