EMS Implementation Options

  • Custom EMS design and implementation support - ZWA can work with your organization to tailor a support program to meet your unique needs. Customized support often includes training, coaching, document writing, project management, and consulting performed on a flexible time and materials basis.
  • Standardized EMS Support - ZWA has developed a standard package of training modules and workshops that are often sufficient for most organizations to develop and implement an EMS and achieve registration to ISO 14001, if desired. These services are provided on a pre-defined fixed-fee basis and are usually more cost effective than customized support.
  • Group EMS Implementation - ZWA will support EMS implementation for groups of organizations. The organizations in a group can be related (multiple POTWs, or multiple agencies of one municipality) or the groups can be formed for convenience. This is the most cost-effective option, if available. Contact ZWA for information on groups being formed.
