The following four statements relate to planning to respond to emergencies. Each statement is divided into two parts. Match the first part to the corresponding second part of each statement:
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Post-emergency evaluations - A
Actions required - B
Periodic testing - C
Training - D
This question relates to ISO 14001:2015 Clause 8.2 - Emergency preparedness and response , which requires an organization to establish, implement, and maintain processes needed to prepare for and respond to potential emergency situations.
The correct matching is:
Post-emergency evaluations # to implement corrective actions
After an emergency or emergency drill, the organization should review what happened, evaluate the effectiveness of the response, and take corrective action where weaknesses or failures are identified.
Actions required # to mitigate impacts
Emergency planning must define actions needed to prevent or reduce adverse environmental impacts, such as spill containment, isolation of hazardous materials, shutdown procedures, or notification of relevant parties.
Periodic testing # of emergency plans
Emergency response arrangements should be tested periodically where practicable, for example through drills, simulations, or spill-response exercises.
Training # of emergency response personnel
Personnel involved in emergency response must be trained so they understand their roles, responsibilities, communication routes, and response procedures.
The two unused options - communication processes and including contact details - may be relevant to emergency planning generally, but they do not best complete the four statements shown in this question.
An audit team leader arrives at a steel fabrication organisation that manufactures fire escape stairs to carry out a Stage 2 certification audit. At a meeting with the EMS Manager, she is told that they have won their biggest contract from a construction organisation to manufacture and install fire escape stairs. They appointed a subcontractor to perform the installation work. The EMS Manager wants the ISO 14001 audit extended to cover the installation site and has set environmental objectives for the subcontractor in line with the EMS policy below:
"It is the policy of the organisation to protect the environment by acting with responsibility at all times, to comply with relevant legislation and to set objectives that will enhance our environmental performance." The auditor seeks evidence of the awareness of subcontractor personnel of the environmental policy set by management.
From the following options, select two issues that all subcontractor personnel should be aware of relating to the organisation's environmental policy.

You have been nominated as audit team leader for the second recertification to ISO 14001 of ABC, a public transport organisation in a big city. The audit is planned to take place in two months.
The audit program manager asks you to review the answer provided by ABC to a nonconformity raised by another auditor during the last surveillance audit carried out eight months ago.
The nonconformity reads as follows:
*"ABC does not always communicate its relevant environmental requirements to external providers.
Evidence: A two-month contract signed with a new external provider of the maintenance for ABC's buses did not contain any relevant environmental requirements."* Which two would you consider to be the best corrective actions from ABC?

You are conducting a Stage 2 certification audit of VitalSpark, a pharmaceutical organisation manufacturing vitamins and other healthcare medicines. In a separate area in the centre of their large site, a supplier produces oxygen supplies piped directly into the manufacturing processes of VitalSpark. They also deliver oxygen in bulk tankers to other customers. When you review the environmental aspects register, you find that the only environmental aspect recorded for this arrangement relates to the heavy goods vehicles of the supplier transiting the site.
You ask the EMS Manager about the environmental consequences to VitalSpark of this arrangement and are told that they are not significant since the supplier has its own services for water, sewage, waste and energy.
The EMS Manager tried unsuccessfully to communicate with the supplier who is located inside the VitalSpark site and outside the scope of the EMS.
You raise a non-conformance against clause 6.1.2 of ISO 14001:
" VitalSpark does not maintain documented information on aspects/impacts related to activities, products and services of the oxygen supplier. " Which combination of two of the following actions proposed by VitalSpark would permit you to close out the nonconformity?
