Action Plans
I am slowly working though this EMS me-larkely, and have come up with the following question (it is mostly common sense, but I just wanted to check).
To what level of detail must action plans be published inorder to achieve accreditation???
Here is an example, to help clarify my thoughts.
---------------------------- example --------------------------------------
Objective : To reduce water usage
Target # 1: To reduce water abstracted from the river by 10%, by April 30th 2003.
Action 1 - To reduce the water consumption by the
Pulper by 5% by January 30th 2003.
Action 2 - To reduce the water consumption by X
process unit by Y% by April 30th 2003 (in
order to achieve the target # 1).
Target # 2: To reduce town water usage by 10%, by April 30th 2004.
Action 1 - To reduce the water consumption by X
process unit by Y% by April 30th 2003 (in
order to achieve target # 2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Still with me? , nice one. So as I undertand that for EVERY significant impact, where there is no current control I need to either asign an objective and traget, or assign an action to achieve an existing objetive and target. Right????
So taking the example above and assuming I have another 20 or so significant impacts relating to water usage (hence each requires an action). Do I have to detail all 20 actions that are to be completed for each objective in order to acheive accreditation, OR can I just state the overall Objectives and Targets???
