Involvement in monitoring the implementation of the environmental management system includes participation in structured improvement programs and day-to-day problem solving

An environmental aspect is any activity, product or service which has the potential to affect the environment

Work may require the ability to work within a team environment

An environmental impact is the actual problem or consequence which results from an environmental aspect

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts.
