The Environmental Management Systems (EMS) Internal Auditor workshop is designed to address the main requirements of ISO 19011 (Guidelines for quality and/or environmental management systems auditing) and the EMS standard ISO 14001.

The internal audit process is a vital component of a well functioning environmental management system, particularly in assessing system conformity, effectiveness and providing reassurances to senior management and external certification bodies.

Course programme:  

• Overview and preparation
• Document (system) audit
• Operational (site) audit
• Reporting and closure

The course is delivered in an interactive format, which comprises regular workshops including a virtual auditing session, continuous delegate engagement and practical sessions utilising scenarios provided directly by delegates.

Benefits to your organisation:

• Having the skills to undertake your own EMS internal audits will save you money on external consultants and help make sure that your environmental strategy works in tandem with your business objectives and working practices.
• Recognising and understanding environmental risk will help make sure your organisation fulfils its legal obligations and is safeguarded against potentially damaging fines. Improving your energy efficiency will not only save you money but will also be attractive to potential clients.
• Creating a positive environmental impact will display your commitment to corporate social responsibility, both internally and externally, as well as motivate staff.
