How to implement an environmental management system? Here is tip# 4 of our series! Build an environmental aspect matrix. In this presentation, you will see a concrete and practical example of what an aspect matrix should contain, with the activities, subactivities, tasks, aspects, and impacts. All of this must include normal, abnormal, and emergent conditions. Explore more details on ISO 14001 and EMS here! https://getenviropass.com/iso-14001/ https://getenviropass.com/environmental-management-systems/ For any specific questions, don't hesitate to contact Enviropass: https://getenviropass.com/contact/
