SOUTH AFRICAN ENVIRONMENTAL LEGAL REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO ISO14001:2004

Introduction

The minimum legal requirements of ISO 14001 necessitate a commitment by the Organisations topmanagement to comply with all the applicable environmental legislation. In order to implement thiscommitment, organisations must identify and have access to all applicable legal requirements. The relevanceand application of the identified laws should also be understood and captured in the environmental

management systems.

It follows that the legal requirements, together with the other elements of the environmental policy, mustguide the organisations objectives and targets and environmental management programmes. It must also beincorporated into operational and monitoring procedures where appropriate.

The fragmentation of South Africas environmental legislation makes the isolation and interpretation ofapplicable legislation complex. Therefore, our legal training course has been designed to equip learners witha working knowledge of the most important South African environmental laws. The course also highlights thepractical application of the law to the typical industrial and mining environment. The main objective of thecourse is to enable learners to identify and relate the applicable laws to their industries activities, productsand services.

Environmental legal issues should be strategic priority of every Organisation. Therefore, personnel taskedwith the implementation, management and evaluation of an environmental management system (EMS)

effectively, they require an understanding of legal issues pertaining to EMS.

Note: The course focuses on obligations imposed by the respective act and regulations and not onphilosophies underpinning the legislation.

SAATCA EXAMINATIONS

Through the years we have established that the majority of our clients attend our courses to be able toconduct audits within their organisations as well as those that are interested in making auditing a career.These learners are afforded the opportunity to write a SAATCA accredited examinations.

After successful completion of SABS accredited Auditing courses, learners who wish to pursue a career asauditors and register with SAATCA, will need to pass the SABS auditing module with a 70% pass mark andthus, will be afforded the opportunity to write the external SAATCA Board examination at a SAATCAselected venue. These examinations must be written within 6 months after completion of the course. It isexpected that learners have experience before they attempt to write this examinations and attain the70% pass mark required for SAATCA entry level.

The SABS Training Academy examinations are currently SAATCA accredited and learners need to attain70% or more to be eligible for application to SAATCA. SAATCA registration requirements need to becomplied with as per the set SAATCA criteria. The duration of the SAATCA examinations is 2 hours. Alearner will be offered only 1 opportunity to write the SAATCA with the SABS Training Academy. A certificatewill be issued to indicate that the learner passed the SABS/SAATCA approved examinations.

The SAATCA will in the near future be designing and developing SAATCA BOARD examinations forregistration of auditors. The SABS Training Academy can therefore not guarantee that their currentlyaccredited examinations and certificates will enable future eligibility for application, as currently accepted bySAATCA. We are awaiting SAATCA directives and clarifications on the matter.
