Introduction to this document

Environmental risk assessment procedure

Whether you need an environmental risk assessment procedure as part of your ISO 14001 documentation, or simply for good practice, you can use our template.

Why use it?

Formal environmental procedures are not only of benefit to those seeking certification or applying for permits, they can be useful for any business. Our Environmental Risk Assessment Procedure helps you to systematically identify the risks posed by your activities and the measures needed to manage them. This makes it much less likely that you’ll contravene environmental legislation as you will have thought through what’s needed to prevent incidents and know how to respond effectively if they occur.

What’s covered?

Our document begins with a short introduction giving the reasons for the procedure. You should tailor the first paragraph to include any specific purpose you have in mind.

Section two is called “Responsibilities”. Here complete details of the manager(s) who will carry out the risk assessments.

The remainder of the document is taken up with step-by-step risk assessment procedure. There are instructions to help with each of these stages of the assessment.
