Legal (and other Requirements) Register for ISO 14001

[db]

A lot of this will depend on your aspects. I have several small companies that really have no big legal requirements. Keeping track of them is not that difficult. Especially here in the US, where almost every state has it's environmental legal requirements (many also have federal requirements as well) posted on a website. As for local stuff, not covered by the state stuff, normally the fire department and the local health department can be of assistance.

Here in Michigan we subscribe to the MMA (Mich. Manufacturers Assn.) which emails updates of pending and newly enacted environmental legislation. This organization gave us a heads up about a new requirement to call 911 in the event of a spill even though the cause for this new law happened on the Canadian side of the river.

Good point, John. Most of the states, and practically all business groups have some sort of association. Quite often these organizations have a wealth of knowledge of environmental regulations (including pending legislation).

"And Other Requirements"

Does anyone know if BMW has an environmental specification that is directed towards its suppliers?

For example: Ford has WSS-M99P9999-A1, GM has GMW 3059, Chrysler has CS-9003.

Your help would be appreciated!

Thanks

In my state of Western Australia our government run State Law Publisher has the facility on their website to allow me to register my email address against the statutes I have an interest in. Whenever changes occur to those statues an auto email is sent to me advising of the changes. This service is provide free of charge.

Maybe worth checking out your own jurisdictions to see what they offer?

Re: Legal Register for ISO 14001

As for keeping such a list up to date, I might add that we as well as many others have solved this with external help: We enlisted a company which specialises in going through all new or changed legislation and then provide their customers (us among them) with information about what is relevant for us. Then we have to go through this info ourselves, of course, but in the end it saves us a good deal of time and effort.

Hi,

I was wondering which service you use. Our firm operates in Canada and we manage corporations' ISO 14001 legal and activity, aspect registers but we are looking for partners in other countries.

As opposed to most update services, we actually provide explanations and place the entire register in the site - removing it from excel where it is difficult to maintain. Would love to get this forum's comments on our site as we are just starting up and looking to improve.

Many thanks,

Jonathan
