The requirements identified on this page are derived from the International Organization for Standardizations (ISO) 14001 standard for environmental management systems. Additional information on this standard can be obtained from their Web site at http://www.iso.org/iso/home.htm

An organization must often develop written procedures to provide instructions for specific activities, and to ensure they are clear to everyone involved and followed in a consistent, repeatable manner.

Region 7 has developed a number of EMS operating procedures (OPs) to instruct our employees on how to complete and maintain the various components of our EMS. These OPs are available on the Web pages that discuss each EMS component, and are also available below. If you have questions about our EMS OPs, please contact the Region 7 Office of Public Affairs.
