Preparing for internal audit
Answer:
When conducting the internal audit you need to check all requirements of the standard and determine to what level the organization is compliant to requirements of the standard. Documents to be reviewed are all documents and records required by the standard and those that the organization determined as necessary for maintaining the EMS (Environmental Management System).

The best way to develop internal audit checklist is to read the documentation fir st and make notes on what needs to be checked during the audit along with requirements of the standard.

- to include commitments to protection of the environment, fulfillment of the compliance obligations, continual improvement and other commitments relevant to the context of the organization

IMDS requirements are obligatory for the automotive industry.

Riesgos y aspectos ambientales
Mi respuesta:
Hay una clara relación entre los aspectos ambientales y los riesgos y oportunidades en el SGA, pero este no es el único lugar donde se pueden encontrar riesgos y oportunidades. Aunque los aspectos ambientales no son los únicos riesgos y oportunidades que podrás identificar para el SGA, sí que pueden considerarse un buen sitio para empezar. Los riesgos y oportunidades pueden surgir de los requerimientos legales (especialmente cuando cambian), información procedente de los clientes o de investigaciones de mercado, comparación de los procesos con otras empresas con el fin de mejorar, sugerencias de empleados, o comentarios de vecinos u otras partes interesadas.
La forma de identificar los riesgos y oportunidades depende de la organización, aunque se trata de una actividad importante en el SGA.

Meeting requirement 7.1
Answer:
Clause 7.1 of ISO 14001:2015 requires organization to determine and provide the resources needed for the establishment, implementation, maintenance and continual improvement of the environmental management system (EMS). There is no requirement to document this clause but rather to determine what resources are necessary for the implementation, maintenance and improvement of the EMS. Resource include people, equipment, finance, infrastructure, etc.
The best way to determine resources for the implementation is to develop project plan for the implementation and define what is necessary in the project plan. In case of maintenance of the EMS, resources are determined according to annual plan of activities within EMS, this includes environmental objectives and plans for achieving them, application of operational controls, internal audit, etc.

ISO 14001 requirements for construction company
Answer:
ISO 14001 doesn't have such specific requirements for the construction sites or any other type of business. But, if such activity is defined by the organization as an operational control for handling waste, it is compulsory to follow this control, otherwise it would be considered as nonconformity.
If you are their subcontractor, you must follow their rules on the construction site as well as their own employees. For more information, see: ISO 14001 case study: Waste management in a construction company https://advisera.com/14001academy/blog/2017/02/27/iso-14001-case-study-waste-management-in-a-construction-company/ -
Who can train IATF 1649 internal auditor
There is no requirement in the standard for internal auditors to be trained by exemplar certified organization. The only requirement in this regard is for organization to retain documented information about the trainer competency, but it refers to the trainer alone, not to the organization to which the trainer belongs.
How long do you have to repeal a Minor Finding with your registrar?
I assume you are asking, how much time does the organization have to remove minor nonconformity found during the certification audit. Usually the deadline for removing nonconformities is agreed with the certification body, and it depends on the scale of the nonconformity. In case of minor nonconformities, the deadline is usually one week, but there is no rule that defines the time frame explicitly. -
Impact, urgency, priority

Impact, urgency and priority are usually used by incident/problem/change management.
Impact describes the effect an e.g. incident has on the service i.e. business process.
Urgency describes how long it takes that an e.g. incident has significant impact on the service i.e. business process.
Priority describes how important an incident (change or a problem) is. Priority is based on impact and urgency..
