An Introduction to the Environmental Legislation Requirements
In South Africa, the right to an environment that is not harmful to a person’s health or well-being is a constitutional right. South African environmental legislation serves to guarantee and protect this right. It is important to be aware of and understand these legal requirements and their consequences. However, South African environmental law is dynamic and can be overwhelming for people who are not familiar with environmental legislation or who have not worked with it before.
This course serves to equip attendees with an appropriate understanding of South African environmental legislation.
This course also engages attendees with an understanding of how to interpret and understand South African law, especially Acts and Regulations, in order to assist them to interpret legislation on their own and to keep abreast of legislation as it is updated or amended.
ISO 14001 Environmental Management System
The ISO 14001 standard provides a framework for the effective management of environmental aspects within an organisation.
At the end of this course attendees should feel confident in their understanding of the requirements of the ISO environmental management system and their ability to set up a management system at their place of work.
