GASAA goes Truly Green
Dec 9, 2008
The Graphic Arts Services Association of Australia (GASAA) will continue to roll out its "Truly Green" Environmental Management Course next year, with seven GASAA member firms based in NSW set to become the first crop of graduates in February.
According to GASAA, the six month certification course assists businesses in setting up an environmental management system in compliance with ISO14001 international standards.
Devised by Paul Kohn, a member of the ISO 14001 Standards Committee, the course allows companies to learn from each other in a group setting, an approach which has earned praise from the current crop of participants (pictured).
"Paul has done a great job in reviewing the potential risks of the specific sites, providing a unique profile for participants to monitor and improve,” said GASAA executive officer Garry Knespal.
After completing the course, participants must demonstrate continued improvement with regards to compliance over several months, before an independent GASAA auditor from Standards Australia is called in to conduct the final ISO certification.
More courses will commence in Brisbane on February 11 and in Melbourne on February 18, with a second Sydney course set to begin on February 20.
Further details about the program are available at the GASAA website.
