Initial Environmental Review Training • Aim of IER is essentially an exercise aimed at clarifying what the organisation’s current positions with respect to : • Environmental management system elements • Environmental Aspects • Environmental performance
Initial Environmental Review Training Four areas: 1.Existing management & operational practices & procedures 2.Identification of sign. Environmental aspects 3.Previous environmental accidents, fines/ penalties & preventive action 4.Legislative & regulatory requirements
Initial Environmental Review Training Other areas: • Normal & abnormal operation • Possible emergency conditions • e.g. fire, spillage/ leakage, etc.
Initial Environmental Review Training Two Key Tasks: • “GAP Analysis” of current operations & management practices against ISO 14001 Requirements in Hotel • ISO 14001 Aspects Identification within departments in the hotel
