Course ID ISO14001JPR
Format Web-based

This course explains the environmental aspects and impacts of an organization. It helps you deliver an 'auditable' output to your organization that is conformant to the ANSI/ISO 14001: Standard.

Participants will work through a step-by-step, self-paced guided process for identifying significant environmental aspects and impacts within your organization. The step-by-step project results in real tangible deliverables, yet is fun and productive too. Nancy Boudreau, the expert who provided the content for the class, states that, 'Identifying environmental risks and addressing them is the most important and most difficult part of implementing ISO 14001.”
The Identifying Environmental Aspects and Impacts course consists of a series of lessons, illustrations, diagrams, examples, supplemental handout information, project management forms, interactive exercises, and quizzes. A handy desk reference, QualityWBT Glossary, and online access to ISO 14001 are included as well. This class is designed to be a project guide. There are three open-book tests, and students are given ample time to answer the questions. To receive a certificate, students must pass all the tests and visit all the lesson pages. You will have 180 days to access this course.
