2. ISO 14001 v2015

The 2015 version of ISO 14001 becomes mandatory in 2018 for all certified sites. You must now identify and address the relevant expectations of interested parties and determine internal and external environmental issues.

Are you ready? For your information, the new ISO 45001 standard for occupational health and safety is expected to be released in March 2018, with requirements comparable to those set out in ISO 14001 v2015.

3. Single Risk Assessment Document

The annual update of the risk assessment remains a legal obligation and a crucial step for identifying hazardous situations at workstations and defining appropriate prevention and protection measures.

Recently, risks related to electromagnetic fields must now be included in your Unique Document.

4. GEREP

The annual report should be prepared by consolidating your various data on air, water, and waste. Online reporting for 2017 pollutant emissions and waste will be available starting January 1, 2018, on the ministry's website.
