Procedures are established and maintained to identify activities, products, and services that have or can have significant impact on the environment. Procedures are established, implemented, and maintained to identify and have access to legal and other requirements related to those products, services, and activities that have or can have significant impact on the environment. Measurable objectives and targets that promote good environment, energy, and transportation management for products, services, and activities that can have significant impact on the environment are established, implemented, and maintained and are accomplished in ways that will not adversely affect the mission, or are cost prohibitive. Training needs relative to products, services, and activities that have or can have significant impact on the environment are identified and provided for appropriate staff. Contracts for products, services, and activities that have or can have significant impact to the environment are evaluated to include means to promote good environmental, energy, and transportation management, and are modified when not fiscally prohibitive. Progress implementing EMS is evaluated, areas for improvement are identified, and plans to improve are formulated and undertaken. Operational controls are in place that promote the accomplishment of goals and targets. Senior management at the facility reviews EMS performance (all of the criteria above) annually.
