Update Details: The sample data F-IMS60 Environmental Aspects Register has been updated and a new folder for internal audit training exercise answers was added to the sample data files folder

F-IMS60 Environmental Aspects Register - For a lot of companies preparing an Environmental Aspects Register for ISO 14001 compliance can be quite a significant task as there are many considerations including applicable legislation that need to be considered for every operation that may have an impact on the environment. To assist with preparing this register we've reviewed and updated a sample date version of this register with the aim that a company with very little environmental impact, such as a virtual or office based company, may be able to just make a few edits to this file (mainly deleting entries that don't apply) to get this completed and compliant.

Internal Audit Training Answers - we recently updated the internal audit training course toolkit to include a number of practice exercises and we also prepared answers to the exercises in the form of completed audit checklists which we intended to package up with the toolkit. This plan changed when we received feedback from a training course that some students had been taking a bit of a sneaky-peek at the answer sheets and had therefore rendered the entire training exercise as pointless. To prevent this happening again we decided to not include the fully completed audit checklists with the toolkit. We also thought, after some debate about what should be raised as a non-conformance in the exercises, that we might post further completed audit checklists from different contributors as it seems every auditor has different ideas and priorities when completing an audit.
