Our Environmental Aspects Training for ISO 14001:2015 has been created for anyone who needs to know more about environmental aspects or wants to refresh their knowledge.
In this course you will learn how to build the environmental aspects register for your organisation from start to finish, allowing you to get stuck in and gain valuable feedback from our experienced consultants. (Even if you already have a register, you will pick up tips to improve and refresh your current register.)
Our aspects course has been built “remote first”, meaning we’ve tailored this course to be delivered virtually via Microsoft Teams. We’ve also split the course over two half-day sessions to help ease the burden on your schedule and to avoid training fatigue. Our consultants are qualified virtual trainers, and as a team, we know that attendees get more out of this format than an all-day remote training course.

‘An element of an organisation’s activities or products or services that interacts or can interact with the environment’.
So environmental aspects are all the things that you do in carrying out your activities and services that can affect the environment in some way, either positively or negatively, for example:
‘change to the environment, whether adverse or beneficial, resulting from an organisation’s environmental aspects.’
If an impact is the effect or the result on the environment from an environmental aspect, we can therefore look at an aspect as the cause or reason of this effect.
The aspects suggested above will have a negative or positive impact on the environment, whether that is contributing to global warming and climate change when using electricity, water pollution from discharging dirty water to a local stream, or increasing biodiversity by planting a wildlife area.
HOW DO I SCORE MY ASPECTS?
The method you choose needs to be consistent i.e. the same way used for every aspect. There are suggestions in the Annex to the Standard to criteria that can be used including those that relate to the aspect (type, size and frequency) or the impact (scale, severity, duration, exposure) as well as organisation issues such as legal requirements or interested party concerns. You also need to ensure the criteria is written down as it is a documented information requirement within the Standard.
Using the standard scoring criteria in the aspects tool within LUS will ensure your aspects are scored appropriately as this has been developed by our experienced consultancy team and when used correctly has great feedback from external auditors.
HOW MANY ASPECTS SHOULD I HAVE?
The requirements of ISO 14001:2015 when it comes to environmental aspects registers can be confusing and unclear but they don’t have to be if you break it down into steps and keep it simple. Hopefully this article has addressed some issues you may have with aspects.
