Environmental management system audit refers to the internal audit of the environmental management system of an organization, which is the organization's self-examination and evaluation.Internal auditThe process ofprogram control, carried out regularly.The internal audit shall judge whether the environmental management system conforms to the scheduled arrangements and ISO14001 standard requirements.Whether the environmental management system has been correctly implemented and maintained, and report the audit results to the management.
The audit object of the environmental management system is the environmental management system. A complete internal audit should comprehensively and completely cover all the sites and activities of the organization, cover all elements of the ISO14001 environmental management system standard, and include the organization'sImportant environmental factorsControlled situation,Target indicatorsThe degree of realization.
The environmental management system audit shall ensure thatobjectivitySystematic and documented requirements shall be implemented according to the audit procedure.The internal audit procedure shall specify the following contents:
A、The scope of audit can includeGeographical region, department or system elements;

ISO14000The environmental management system standard is to createGreen enterpriseIt is an effective tool for enterprises to carry out environmental management and promote the sustainable development of enterprises.ISO14000 is a standard applicable to any organization. Due to the differences in specific situations between industries and organizations, many organizations cannot understand this feature of the standard.This wide range of standardsApplicabilityIt reflects that the standard is a basic standard and a management framework.Each organization must first understand the essence of the standard to build on itImplementation standards。In particular, ISO14000 is a standard related to environmental management. How to graspenvironmental benefit、social resultsandEnterprise benefitsIt is a difficult problem.According to practical work experience, the guiding principles for implementing ISO14001 mainly include:
Generally, the operation and management of an organization serves the needs of its own development, but the fundamental goal of environmental management is to meet social environmental protection andsustained developmentNeeds.In many cases, environmental protection andEnterprise developmentIt is a pair of sharp contradictions. In order to survive and develop, enterprises will choose the latter without considering environmental protection.along withglobal environment The deterioration of the situation,protect the environmentIt is urgent to improve the environmentenvironmental consciousness With the gradual improvement of the government's environmental management laws and regulations, enterprises must implement environmental management.
2. Role of leadership
CorporateTop managementHigh attention and strong leadership are the guarantee for enterprises to implement environmental management and the key to success.As the top management is the decision-making level of the organization, it decides and controls the development of the organization, and provides financial and human resources support for management activitiesImplementation processIt plays a coordinating and guiding role, so the role of leadership is important.In environmental management, there are two main manifestations of the failure of leadership to play a good role: first, leaders cannot understand environmental issues well and cannot make decisions in this regardDecision judgmentIt is just a matter of entrusting this work to a certain department, and such work often deviates greatly.Second, the leadership is weak, and the management of various departments cannot be well coordinated, which causes great obstacles to the environmental management work and often fails halfway.The reasons for the above problems areLeadership qualityLow, incompetent for work.One of the leadership selection and training mechanisms in China is to exercise and train on the post, which is very unfavorable to management.Every post, whether it is the highest leadership or an ordinary operating post, needs competent employees, so that the role of the post can be fully played. "On the job training" means that the employee is not competent. In the process of training him into a competent person, the incompetence of the employee has caused many job deviations, and some results are very adverse.Especially in the process of environmental management, unqualified personnel cannot be allowed to be on duty, because once environmental problems are caused, the consequences are serious and irreversible.
Environmental management is a management work, but it does not mean that management work is justmanagement layerThings.staffParticipation in managementIf we can grasp it well, it will be very helpful for management.It is found in enterprise environmental management that managers do not interact with employeeseffective communication , just give orders to employees, so employees do not understand or even contradict the orders, so that the orders cannot be obtainedEffective implementation。When the order is not effectively executed, the manager is more willing to attribute it to the low quality of the staff, resulting in the problem that cannot be solved.
4. Implement process control
Process refers to the system that converts input into various activities of resources used for output.The purpose of the process is to improve its value.Any activity can be managed as a process.Process managementIt can greatly improve efficiency.
In generalProduct production processThe production result is a tangible product, so the control of the result can be divided into two situations: one is the direct control of the production result -- the product. Generally, the inspection method is usedNonconforming productseliminate;The other is to control the production process to reduce the possibility of nonconforming products.The first method is widely adopted, which canEffective controlProduct quality, but the loss of the enterprise is large, because the defective products have to be reworked or scrapped.This is a great waste of resources.Process control can significantly reduce such waste and ensure quality.Similar situations also exist in environmental management:End treatmentAnd process control.End treatment refers toProduction processTo develop and implement effective treatment technologies for the generated pollutants.End treatment in the environmentManagement developmentThe process is an important stage, which is conducive to the elimination of pollution incidents, and also slows down theProduction activitiesThe trend of environmental pollution and destruction.However, with the passage of time and the acceleration of the industrialization process, the limitations of end of pipe treatment are increasingly exposed. First, the large investment and high operating costs of pollution treatment facilities make enterprisesproduction costsrise,economic performanceDecline;Secondly, the end treatment is often not thorough treatment, but the transfer of pollutants, such as the formation of a large number of waste residues from smoke and gas removal and dust removal, and the production of a large number of sludge from centralized wastewater treatment, so the pollution cannot be eradicated;Third, the end management does not involve the effective use of resources and cannot be stoppednatural resourcesWaste.Therefore, to truly solve the pollution problem, it is necessary to implement process control, reduce the generation of pollution, and fundamentally solve the environmental problem.
Continuous improvement is an organization that actively seeks opportunities for improvement and strives to improveEffectivenessAnd efficiency.Since the environmental problem is a problem of continuous development and improvement, the goal of environmental management is continuous improvement, which also conforms to the principle of sustainable development.
It is relatively easy for enterprises to take measures to improve environmental performance. After the environment is improved, it can also be carried out to maintain the existing environmental management level and environmental management performance. However, it is difficult to improve management performance, because managers lack the awareness of continuous improvement.As for "improvement", the managers of enterprises more understand it as reaching the standard or being satisfied through improvement when the standard is not met or not met. In fact, this work cannot be called "improvement", but just a "correction"."Improvement" should refer to the continuous improvement of the standards met. Because of the improvement of standards, if the enterprise can still meet the standards through efforts, then the enterprise is "improving".It is not enough to make one "improvement". From the perspective of long-term development and environmental protection requirements of the enterprise, what the enterprise needs is“Continuous improvement”。
