ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management System - The Gap Analysis

Checklist

GUIDELINES FOR USE OF THE GAP ANALYSIS CHECKLIST


_____________________________________________________________________

This gap analysis checklist is prepared for use in evaluating your Environmental
Management System against the requirements of ISO 14001.

Each requirement is expressed as a question that the auditor can use to evaluate your EMS
capabilities. Along with the checklist, you will need to have a copy of the
ISO 14001:2004 standard so that you can see exactly what the requirements are and can
refer to the guidance section in Annex A.

After you have prepared an audit schedule, and assigned responsibility to the auditors for
different areas to audit, copy each section of the checklist for the auditors working with that
section. As the auditors work through the checklist, they need to take notes on what is in
place, and what needs to be developed.

Reference the procedures or other documents that are reviewed and that will provide
information for the new EMS. Take notes on the status of the documents, will they need to be
revised for the new system, or can they be used as is? Also note where processes are in
place, but documentation is needed.

Focus on what is in place, and what needs to be developed. While you do want to know if
procedures and processes are being complied with, compliance is not your main focus for
this audit.

Remember that the final outcome of this audit should be a list of things that your organization
needs to do to comply with ISO 14001:2004.

Introduction

Your Company developed and implemented an Environmental Management System in


order to document the company’s best environmental business practices, better satisfy the
requirements and expectations of its stakeholders and improve the overall management of
the company.
The Environmental Management System of Your Company meets the requirements of the
international standard ISO 14001:2004 and addresses the environmental issues associated
with YOUR COMPANY’s activities, operations, services and products.
The manual is divided into ten sections that correlate to the Environmental Management
System sections of ISO 14001:2004. Sections begin with a statement expressing Your
Company’s obligation to implement the basic requirements of the referenced Environmental
Management System section. Each statement is followed by specific information pertaining
to the procedures that describe the methods used to implement the necessary
requirements.
This manual describes the Environmental Management System, delineates authorities, inter
relationships and responsibilities of the personnel responsible for performing within the
system. The manual also provides procedures or references for all activities comprising the
Environmental Management System to ensure compliance to the necessary requirements of
the standard.
The manual is used internally to guide the company’s employees through the various
requirements of the ISO standard that must be met and maintained in order to ensure
environmental stewardship, customer satisfaction, continual improvement and provide the
necessary instructions that create an empowered work force.
This manual is used externally to introduce our Environmental Management System to our
customers and other external organizations or individuals. The manual is used to familiarize
them with the controls that have been implemented and to assure them that the integrity of
the Environmental Management System is maintained and focused on environmental
stewardship, customer satisfaction and continuous improvement.

4.4.6 Operational Control


YOUR COMPANY establishes, implements, documents and maintains a system for the
identification of the critical functions related to the policy, significant aspects, the legal and
other requirements, and objectives and targets. Operational controls describe operations
and activities where it is deemed that their absence could lead to deviations from the
environmental policy and the objectives and targets.

The procedure MP-446 is used to establish, implement and maintain a system of operational
control to ensure that the processes that affect the environment are carried out under
controlled conditions. The required instructions provide sufficient details so that the
company can conform to the policy, objectives and targets, the legal and other
requirements, address any impacts from significant aspects and ensure that deviations from
planned arrangements do not occur.
The applicable system requirements are communicated to employees and to persons that
are required to perform tasks on behalf of the company or are required for temporary short-
term activities.
Depending on the nature of your business, operational controls may include work
instructions and systems for activities such as Design and development, Outsourcing and
purchasing, Maintenance of infrastructure, Gage control / Equipment calibration, Incoming
inspection, etc as required.

Design and development.


If you are a developer, a designer or an inventor of products or services, the design and
development instruction WI-446-010 outlines the controls for the design and development
process. The instruction applies to the design control activities where environment-friendly
materials and products are used and industry standard requirements incorporated.
Outsourcing and purchasing.
If you purchase goods and sub-contracted services, the outsourcing and purchasing
instruction WI-446-020 outlines the controls for the purchasing process. Providers /
Contractors / Persons that are required to perform tasks on behalf of the company that have
the potential to cause a significant environmental impact are qualified on the basis of
education, training, or experience. Selected candidates are engaged through a business
agreement and added to the list of acceptable sources after the satisfactory completion and
return the environmental survey checklist.
Infrastructure.
If your facilities include physical infrastructure, the instruction WI-446-030 outlines the
system where environmental controls are enhanced with properly maintained resources.
Facilities resources incorporate the overall physical infrastructure aspects such as buildings,
offices, laboratories, work areas, transport systems, equipment, telecommunications
systems, storage, communication services, and other facilities.

Control of measuring and monitoring equipment.


If you make use of measuring and monitoring equipment, whether employee owned,
customer owned or company supplied, the instruction WI-446-040 outlines the system
where the control and calibration of such equipment enhance environmental controls
through credible monitoring and measurement (4.5.1) results.

Environmental Management System Workbook

Comments and Instructions:

Congratulations on the management decision to implement the ISO 14001:2004 Environmental


management system. This commitment and your participation say a lot about you and show
that you are interested in learning, in growing, and in improving your business.

This ISO 14001 Workbook becomes an implementation tool and is intended to make your ISO
project as organized as possible when executing a set of tasks in the sequence that they are
normally required on the journey to ISO 14001certification.

An important first activity or prerequisite, as the Environmental program is launched, is for the
ISO Management Representative to become as familiar as possible with the ISO 14001
Workbook format and content.

The Workbook:

The workbook is presented in four sections where the ISO tasks and Exercises are introduced,
initiated and completed. You will find that your workbook can be used and marked up to develop
and detail the information required for each task and exercise.

The Workbook Forms:

However, since more than one person will be involved in the ISO project, the workbook forms
that represent the tasks and the exercises are provided in word format for distribution to the staff
that will be participating and providing inputs.

The Workbook Presentations:

The ISO 14001 workbook is best utilized with ISO implementation training tools as provided in a
series of PPT presentations that match the workbook sections.
The presentations become very effective tools that the ISO Management Representative, as the
project manager, can use to keep the momentum moving toward a target registration date.

Good Luck with this important initiative.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM


YOUR COMPANY executive management is responsible to establish,
implement and maintain the ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM and to define and document the policy and objectives for and
commitment to the environment as described in this EMS Manual.
YOUR COMPANY defines and documents the scope of its
Environmental Management System and includes what activities,
operations, services and products are included in the EMS.
For example:
The scope of the Environmental Management System includes the
major product and service categories associated with the primary
functions of manufacturing toys and preparing the product for the public
at large.

While it is every one’s job to protect the environment, the overall


leadership for the EMS is provided by the top ranking official, such as
the President.
The prime responsibility for the EMS procedures and instructions is
delegated and assigned and shared with the managers and supervisors
of the relevant functions.

Management reviews are needed to ensure that the
EMS continues to be adequate, suitable and effective.

At planned intervals reviews are required to review,

For example:
• the Environmental Policy
• the performance data for EMS processes
• the opportunities for improvement & need for changes

During the first audit we would like the auditors to audit a minimum
of one section for each of the five clauses (4.2, 4.3.1, 4.4.2, 4.5.3, 4.6)
of the standard. The remaining clauses of the ISO 14001:2004
standard will be audited during subsequent internal audits.

I would like you to come in on January 8th to review our audit files
and prepare your audit plan. We will schedule the audit for the
morning of January 15th.

Best regards

Joe

QA Manager / EMS Management representative

Conclusion
After the students have completed their presentations, you can:

1. Show them the final slides in the “Steps of ISO 14001:2004 Internal Audit” Power
Point presentation outlining the non conformances for each section.
• Remember, there is often more than one way to look at a situation, especially in
a fictitious setting like ETC. Therefore, encourage open discussion on why they
consider items a non conformance.
• You may want to add their suggestions to the course material for next time.

2. If you feel that the student has satisfactorily understood the material, you may issue
them a certificate (this is a separate MS Word file in your package). Use your
judgment to issue this based upon:
• Participation
• Ideas
• Leadership
• Approach
• Etc.

3. Schedule an audit of your facility to reinforce the material.
