Good day i would just like to ask the question . We are a company just starting with the intro of Iso – 14001 . the stumbling block we have come up against is the legal side of the system , where legal registers are wanting because of knowing what to dom , and what you cannot do. Where do we get such info. we are in the tshwane province of gauteng, yet we cannot access such info . Hoping you can give me some pointers.
ReplyHi Roderick,
Thanks for your getting in touch. Under the ISO14001 system the legal register sets out all the relevant local, national and international environmental legislation that could have an influence on the duty of care for an organisation. The legal register identifies the important parts of the legislation or regulations that an organisation needs to be aware of in order to fulfil its legal obligation. Typically you will need to employ a consultant to help you identify this legislation. As a starting point you could Google environmental legislation for South Africa. This seems to be your main act: NEMA – South Africa National Environmental Management Act – Legislation and Environmental Acts. This information provides information on South African legislation. http://www.environment.co.za/legislation-law/
All the best,
