Environmental Management System Management AuditReportAugust 1-5, 2005PurposeThomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) intends to self-declareimplementation of an Environmental Management System (EMS) in the fall of 2005. Inpreparation for self-declaration this internal audit of the Lab's EMS was conducted inaccordance with JLab SOP EMP-14, Internal Audit. Non-conformances, e.g. failures tomeet a requirement, identified in the audit are to be addressed before self-declaration.ScopeThe audit encompassed all of the EMS requirements defined in ISO 14001:2004 andcovered activities on the Lab's main campus as well as in off-site rented/leased spacesuch as Blue Crab Storage. The audit sought to determine whether the EMS that JLab isnow implementing satisfies the requirements of ISO 14001 and whether the requirementsof the EMS (including staff awareness of the EMS) are being met in the field.PlanThe audit plan was created by the audit team as part of its training and approved by theEMS Management Representative. The audit assignments were set so that no one auditedwork in which he or his line management had participated, in order to maintainobjectivity.The audit was divided into two pieces: audit of the EMS as a whole for conformance tothe requirements of ISO 14001 and audit of awareness and implementation of the EMS inthe field.In order to audit the field the team prepared a matrix of Lab area versus significantenvironmental aspects and planned the audit to sample all areas and all significant aspectcategories. The matrix and the resulting audit assignments are shown in Annex 1.Audit TeamThe audit team was chosen by the EMS Management Representative from across JLaband also included two consultants from Gannett Flemming, Inc., the firm that has beenassisting in the Lab's development and implementation of an EMS.
