Environmental Aspects &

Impacts Register

Why Have An EAIR?

• If working towards ISO 14001:2015 EMS, it is a necessity.

• The key success factor of implementing ISO 14001:2015 EMS is to understand

environmental aspects and impacts:
To reduce environmental impacts
To identify legislation applicable to our operations
To determine control measures need to be put in place

• The organization shall establish a procedure to identify environmental ASPECTS and

determine those aspects that have or can have a significant IMPACT to the
environment.
