Environmental management manual

What is the purpose of an environmental management manual?

Answer:

ISO 14001:2015 does not require an environmental management manual. Organizations may decide having one or not. So, if one organization decide to have an environmental management manual it is free to determine a purpose for it. Working with organizations, I advise the creation of an environmental management manual as a document to present the environmental management system, its policy, its main processes, its documents and main responsibilities.

why language is so important in writing operating procedures?

Answer:

Language is important while writing operating procedures because we want a document to be clear, to be precise, to be able to be understood by those who will read and apply it.
