Need a helping hand?
Just found out that you require a permit, or received your permit and feeling a bit overwhelmed?
Permits will often contain a whole range of conditions which have no firm timetable but are implicit in the permit wording. These conditions often relate to the environmental management system, and can be easily overlooked if a structured approach is not followed.
Abricon can help you prepare for this by conducting an audit of the site’s current environmental performance versus the permit conditions. For example many of the issues will relate to EMS but there will be issues which relate very closely to process control and facilities maintenance.
An environmental audit will enable you to develop an action plan to address the permit conditions and improvement programme which:
- Identifies management actions
- Provides decision points for clear communication of resource and capital investment requirements to the management.
- Mitigate the risk of non-conformance when your ISO14001 external auditors conduct their 6 monthly or annual surveillance audit.
- Ensure that your EMS provides the appropriate controls to deliver the permit obligations.
Abricon has extensive experience of dealing with permit conditions. Our consultants will visit your installation and review your new permit, explain what it requires in plain english and leave you with a printed action plan.
We enable you to move forward with confidence, making the best of your own in-house resources.
