Environmental Aspects - Assessment Guidance
This guide describes a methodology for evaluating environmental aspects under ISO 14001 and then determining those aspects, which maybe regarded as significant. The assessment of significant environmental aspects is crucial to an ISO 14001 Environmental Management System (EMS). Significant aspects are not always immediately self-evident and a comprehensive and methodical assessment is required to detect them.

Legal and Other Requirements Register
A Register of Legislation is a written record of the environmental legislation (and usually Codes of Practice) which is applicable to an organisation's activities, processes or services, and summarises obligations for compliance. It is a requirement to compile a Register of Legislation as part of an environmental management system (EMS) and update the information regularly to reflect any changes in legislation. This template will offer gudiance on the format for a legal (and other requirements) [L&OR] register. The L&OR register should clearly state the environmental legislation and regulations that are relevant to a specific organisation and provide management with a comprehensive and accessible document to help achieve regulatory compliance.

Procedure for Legal Requirements
This document provides a "hit list" for ISO14001 Procedure for Legal and Other Requirements. ISO 14001 does not require documentation for the Legal and Other Requirements section. However, the only practical way to demonstrate conformance is to assemble in one place a list and copies of each applicable environmental law, regulation and voluntary subscription along with the supporting permits and/or contracts as evidence. The application and deployment of a procedure allows control and management of L&OR.

Quantitative Assessment of Environmental Aspects
Example model on how to quantitatively assess Environmental Aspects identified as part of ISO14001 development and implementation. Organisations may adopt and/or modify the model to meet their specific requirements. Setting the "cut off" criteria for significance is pivotal for success and factors such as resources (financial, people etc) must be taken into account. For an advanced and integrated (Environmental, Health and Safety) model, please refer to the excel spreadsheet also provided as a download (see below).
