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
