Training Your Personnel: Level 4 |

Unit 5 - Training Needs Analysis |

| Management Responsibilities | |
|
Management must ensure that employees, especially those with environmental management responsibilities, such as staff responsible for waste disposal or internal auditing, are competent to perform their duties in conformance with environmental policy, and understand the consequences that can result when operating procedures are not followed. Failure to provide necessary training will mean that the system will fail. Therefore, management must determine the level of experience, competence and training necessary for personnel at different levels and with different functions. |

| Environmental Training Programme | |
|
It is not necessary to train all staff in every aspect of an environmental management system.
Training will depend on the type of organisation, individual responsibilities and the level of
competence required (clearly, employees whose activities have a significant environmental effect or
where the potential environmental risk is higher, will require a high level of competence in being
able to deal with these issues). |
