ISO-14001 is a certification system that provides rules, procedures and guidelines to protect the environment. To be certified ISO-14001 means that the company takes extra measures to assure operations do not pollute air and water resources. Measures to stop and prevent pollution include recycling, constructing barriers for spills, training employees how to properly handle hazardous material and reducing waste of energy resources. The company must pass bi-annual third party audits to assure that the environmental systems are still being used and followed.
