Video 4: Introduction to the ISO 14001 2015 requirements
About this lesson
Focusing on the final section of the ISO 14001 standard this video explains the necessity of driving continual improvement in environmental performance. You will see how the organization must analyze nonconformities to understand the root cause of why a problem happened and implement systemic corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
You will understand that while the standard defines a minimum set of requirements it is up to the organization to build a process based system suitable for its needs. The lesson clarifies the responsibility of top management and employees alike to ensure that environmental issues are resolved permanently so that the same problems do not happen again.
