Assignment: Environmental Management/Environmental Management System Plan
Addresses Outcome
Develop and implement management plans that incorporate scientific principles and that comply with environmental laws and ethical principles in a team environment
Environmental Management plans should always be integrative, and often are centered on an environmental management system (EMS).
PLEASE READ LINK:
The Overseas Private Investment Corporation shared the key elements of EMS.
To creatively determine how well you understand the essence of EMS, please provide your assessment of the following elements in an environmental management plan for your home or work, including both building and grounds:
-Assessing environmental effects (environmental aspects)
-Compliance with laws / regulations (legal and other requirements) - please include a qualitative 2x2 risk assessment as part of this section
-Setting environmental objectives and targets
-Environmental management program(s)
-Structure and responsibility
-Training, awareness and competence
Each of the key elements above is worth 10 points for a total of 60 points. Please remember that you only need to provide aspects that are relevant to your home or work! For example, you do not need stack monitoring or effluent monitoring programs for your home!
The other criteria, each worth 10 points, are:
Clear introduction to your home or work so we have a good overview of location, size, and neighborhood of both building and grounds.
Clear format with subtopics under each key element as appropriate.
Clear and concise writing with topic sentence followed by supporting statements.
List of appropriate references in APA format, cited as needed.
The length of the Environmental Management Plan can be flexible given the variety of work and home situations we might find. I am hoping you can write a plan within 3000 words.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
2. The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
3. Also include a reference page. The Citations and references should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
