Summary
Producers and others were interested to know what is involved in formulating and documenting an EMS. By using a step-by-step process, and adhering to the principles of ISO 14001, this guide looks to explain the processes and illustrate by example. The guide is not meant to be comprehensive and this is apparent with a limited number of cited on-property examples. Many of the examples used relate to Victoria and Queensland as this is the where the pilot EMS groups were based.
Importantly, the reader of this guide, should remember that ISO 14001 is a process standard not an environmental standard. ISO 14001 is used worldwide across all types of industries. This guide attempts to interpret ISO 14001 for use in the grazing industry and should not be treated as a definitive recipe for EMS.
