With an increase in regulation and new standards as well as stronger awareness of environment protection, industry will need to rely increasingly on environmental auditing to systematically manage its impacts. This course covers the basic elements of the different types of environmental auditing undertaken by industry with a focus on the ISO 14,010 EMS Environmental Auditing standard. Attendees learn about the various types of environmental audits undertaken and the tools required for conducting these.

The principle aims are to identify and evaluate potential environmental liabilities, risks and hazards in industry. The main part of the assessment of this course is a project looking at the application of environmental auditing to industry.

This course has been recognised by the Quality Society of Australasia (Reg No EA70) as meeting the training requirements for Environmental Auditor certification.
