Introduction:

This training program typically focuses on equipping participants with the skills and knowledge necessary to assess and predict environmental changes using scientific data and computational modeling techniques. Through it, participants learn how to effectively monitor environmental parameters and utilize modeling tools to simulate and forecast environmental scenarios.

Program Objectives:

At the end of this program, the participants will be able to:

Identify various types of environmental aspects and assess their corresponding environmental impacts effectively.
Demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the requirements outlined in the newly revised ISO 14001:2018 standard.
Analyze waste streams within their organization and identify opportunities for cost reduction through waste minimization strategies.
Apply environmental management system (EMS) concepts and guidelines to establish and maintain effective environmental management practices.
Implement the phases of EMS implementation, utilizing best-practice techniques, tools, and integration strategies with other environmental programs to achieve continual improvement in environmental performance.
