Competence in ISO 14001:2015
It’s important to determine and document what competencies are required by people doing work under the organisation’s control. These may be unique to the organisation and activities involved.
Training
Training needs associated with your environmental aspects and impacts should also be identified. Training may be formal and structured, or informal and specific to an aspect – such as a tool box talk.
However documented evidence of the training should be maintained, including some method of assessing the effectiveness of the training, for example a test score.
Awareness
The standard provides a specific list of topics that both internal and external parties should be made aware of.
