    Study Notes

    ### Facility Type Options

    • Facilities can select from multiple types, e.g., "Final Product Assembler" and "Finished Product Processing"
    • Facilities must select all applicable types for their specific operations

    Environmental Compliance

    • Facilities must have a valid operating license and required environmental permits
    • Lacking either results in a FEM score of zero

    Documentation System

    • Documents should be maintained to verify all laws, regulations, standards, and codes related to environmental impacts
    • This system includes procedures and defined responsibilities for monitoring and verifying compliance
    • "Partial Yes" is given if the facility has documented procedures but is not currently in compliance with one or more requirements, and has a plan to correct non-compliance
    • The system should be able to demonstrate how procedures are aligned at the facility level

    Key Impacts

    • The system should identify and address environmental impacts that have been determined to be significant based on Higg FEM criteria
    • The system should cover topics such as air emissions, water usage, and waste management
    • The system should use findings to set an improvement plan that is regularly reviewed

    Verification

    • Facilities must have a documented system to ensure compliance with applicable legal and other requirements
    • This may include a list of requirements, job descriptions, documented review and monitoring processes, and corrective action plans, if applicable

    Interview Questions

    • Environmental management staff should be able to describe the facility's processes for identifying, monitoring, and verifying all regulatory and other requirements related to significant environmental impacts
    • Key staff involved in environmental compliance should be able to describe their roles and responsibilities
