ISO 14001 is an environmental management system that assists organizations in planning, monitoring and continually improving their competitive position and overall environmental performance. Due to the complexity of some healthcare products and procedures, hazardous materials are often used and therefore require proper disposal. Having a robust environmental management system can help ensure the effective control and disposal of these materials. Elective ISO 14001 registration can empower healthcare service providers to achieve and systematically control higher levels of environmental performance throughout their organization.
