ABSTRACT
Material control personnel regularly handle materials which, by their very nature, are classified as hazardous. The handling, storage, packaging/preservation, and delivery of such materials becomes an environmental aspect of the overall operation. The organization shall establish and maintain procedure(s) to identify the environmental aspects of its activities, products, or services that it can control and over which it can be expected to have an influence, in order to determine those which have or can have significant impacts on the environment. The correlation between International Standardization Organization (ISO) 14001, Environmental Aspects, and ISO 9001 occurs in several areas. The important environmental issues must address the requirements of ISO 14001. Under ISO 14001, the Planning requirements take into account procedures to identify environmental aspects, legal and other requirements, and the establishment of objectives and targets. Design input requirements relating to the product, including applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, shall be identified, documented and their selection reviewed by the supplier for adequacy.
