Tutorials

• Information for Use in Integrating Environmental Management Systems (EMS) into Integrated Safety Management Systems (ISMS). This document is being provided for information purposes only. It is being used to develop DOE G 450.1-1, Implementation Guide For Use With DOE Order 450.1: Environmental Protection Program. While the Guide is in final preparation prior to issuance into the REVCOM system, the information herein is being made available to those planning to, or in the process of, integrating an EMS into their ISMS.
   
• Environmental Management Systems Primer for Federal Facilities (DOE/EH-0573). This guide is designed to help Federal managers who are considering adopting an environmental management system (EMS). Properly implemented, an EMS can reduce support costs and improve productivity while advancing environmental protection and performance. It can put Federal environmental management practices on the same level as those of America's best-run corporations. And it can do so in visible ways that will be recognized by stakeholders inside and outside a Federal agency.
   

Other Materials

• Senior Managers Training for Use with DOE O 450.1, Environmental Protection Program
   
• EPA's Introduction to Environmental Management Systems Training — This course provides an overview of environmental management systems (EMS) and how EMS can support environmental improvements at facilities that are subject to environmental regulations. It also presents information regarding EPA's involvement in supporting EMS efforts at facilities regulated under a number of environmental statutes, including the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
   

Training courses are offered at locations throughout the DOE complex. Student notebooks or table of contents are available for the following courses:

• Principles of Environmental Restoration: Techniques for Streamlining RCRA (HSWA) and CERCLA Projects (student notebook)
• EMS Tele-Video Conference Series
