Gap Analyses and Assessments
Gap Analyses
Implementing an EMS is a significant undertaking. ETI Group can provide a gap analysis to assist you in making an “informed” decision regarding how best to proceed by providing answers to the following critical questions:
- What existing company procedures and processes will need to be modified to meet the requirements of the standard and the operational needs of your company?
- What additional procedures, processes, forms and records are required to achieve compliance with the requirements of the standard?
- How do you ensure that your EMS meets the operational needs of your company as well as the requirements of the ISO 14001 Standard?
- What level of effort (internal resources) is required to achieve certification to ISO 14001 standard?
- What is the best approach to complete your implementation project within the desired timeframe?
Pre-registration Assessments
To check if your EMS is ready for the registration audit, ETI will perform a pre-registration assessment of your EMS. Essentially, this is a “trial run” to identify areas where further work is required before you are ready for the registration audit.
Implementation Support Programs
