ISO14 -- Setting the Standard in Environmental Management

One key element of maintaining a compliant Environmental Management System (EMS) is self-evaluation, also known as an internal audit. The internal audit should address the entire EMS, and should include training employees new to the process and resolving issues that arise in the audit process. The ISO14 Audits Center addresses these issues in a uniquely efficient manner.

The Audits Center includes everything you need to prepare and conduct an internal audit. To allow you to best focus your audits on your company's needs, audits can be made to be ISO code specific, department specific or specific to up to three other variables determined by your company. Key tools include:

Customizable list of more than 165 audit questions

Forms to plan and conduct audit and record results

An audit calendar

Record and score charts of previous audits

Planning and Integration
With seamless integration into your current system, the Audits Center simplifies the planning process. Follow up activities, such as audit scoring and CAR initiation can be executed efficiently from the same screen your results were recorded. The following features ensure audits are completed without delay:

Future audit planning capabilities

Expandable calendar

Automatic email notifications

Complete Automation
An internal audit is only effective when the nonconformances identified are handled swiftly. The Audits Center eliminates the risks of lost or illegible handwritten records of a paper-based system and maintains all audit necessities in a highly organized, easy-to-use system.

Enhanced Internal Communication
An employee who has limited access to the audit process may not be a valuable resource for constructive feedback. By maintaining all of your audit records, plans and content in one accessible place, you enable all employees to participate in the audit process as observers. In turn, you'll benefit from substantial employee feedback and companywide buy-in to environmental management.
