Assessments, Implementations Assistance, Training and More

By performing a “pre-audit” known as a gap analysis, EMS CONSULTING will analyze the various elements of your existing management system in comparison to its relevant standard (ISO 50k, 45k, 22k, 14k, & 9k respectively).  We also offer an audit of your management system to verify conformance and recommend improvements.

We offer services to guide and assist you with your ISO implementation to ensure adherence of international standards of management systems for any of the above standards. We can also develop all of the programs for you and assist you to implement it to save you valuable time in-house.

We provide two to three day training on how to audit your employer’s Management System. This training – called internal auditor training – is available for each of the identified management systems.  We will train you on how to audit and what to audit for.

We also provide awareness training for all of your employees, as required by each of the standards.

The International Standards Organization published this international standard in 2011. It is still in its original version. It requires 2 written procedures and substantial energy data collection and analysis. It requires management commitment, an EnMS management representative and an energy team. A US Department of Energy “Energy Performance Indicator Calculator” can be used to analysis energy data and document improvements in energy performance required by the Standard.

This international standard is in the process of being developed. When it is, EMS CONSULTING will provide support and implementation assistance for it. ISO 45000 will replace the OHSAS 18001 standard that has been used internationally in the absence of an international standard (it was developed as a British standard). It is being developed according to the ISO standards development guidance document for management systems, and consequently will require management commitment, an HSMS management representative, specific documentation and requirement for compliance with applicable laws and regulations (meaning OSHA compliance here in the US). More information will be available when the Final Draft International Standard (FDIS) is published in 2016.
