The plan include environmental aspects and impact, and its an important function of an organization in the sense that it takes into consideration a proper schedule, resources, targets, successes as well as likely failures, contingencies and alternatives to migrate the crisis if it occurs. For eg, when the work involves handling of hazardous materials or any other procedure involving safety measures, it has to be
IMPLEMENTATION
EMS demands a mechanism for measuring and evaluation for which a process has to be evolved that involves testing and verification. Such a process must be an ongoing process to identify environmental performance indicators that are verifiable. Also, for regular monitoring, the companies must establish a system and procedure for determining compliance and conformance with law and rules and regulations.
REVIEW
At Review stage, the organisation has to think in terms of continual improvements of environmental performance. Review is very important because it undertakes an in-depth analysis of all the issues of environmental concern. Reviews must go beyond the stage of compliance. It must pay full attention to implementation of objectives set out by the organisation. Issues to be discussed in the process of reviews are: i. Sustainability of environmental policy. ii. Recommendations of audit report. iii.New regulations.
