Making simple EMS system

i have a small company with a small env program, Small quantity generator Haz waste, small universal waste generator, indirect wastewater discharger, EPCRA compliance, minor source air permit pre-construction permit, so it is a small program. what do you recommend for ISO 14001-2015, I am beginning to establish the program, funds are limited. I might not pursue the certification, but at least, i'd like to establish a focused program rather than piling docs.

Answer:

The essence of the EMS (Environmental Management System) is control of significant environmental aspects. In order to control them you need to identify them first and distinguish significant and insignificant environmental aspects by applying some criteria for evaluation. Once you determine significant environmental aspects, you need to establish operational controls and monitor their effectiveness.

When you have operational control established, you can later add other requirements of the standard and have entire EMS compliant with the standard, but for begining, this can d o the trick.

For more information, see: Defining and implementing operational control in ISO 14001:2015 https://advisera.com/14001academy/blog/2016/04/11/defining-and-implementing-operational-control-in-iso-140012015/140012015/
