Habitats

7.2 Habitats

Key to protecting the local habitat is the production and implementation of an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) that describes the processes that will be follow to minimize harm to the environment.

This plan also helps an organization map its progress toward achieving continual improvements.

As each project is unique so are Environmental Management Plans.

The level of detail and length of an EMP will vary depending on the type and complexity of the work.
