Hunter Plastics clearly recognises the need to continually operate

and wherever possible enhance the environment - see Environmental
Policy.
Delegates from Hunter Plastics have completed a Practical Environmental
Management training course designed to provide a good level of knowledge
through training sessions that incorporates practical exercises in
the classroom, to reinforce the understanding of Environmental issues.
Hunter's elected Environmental
management team, Jane Dawson, Rob Blizard, Steve Lawton, Graham
Nannery & Andrew Wearn receiving their 'hard earned' PEM
certificates from Hunter’s M.D Brian Blanchard. |
The key objectives of the course were to ensure that delegates gained
an understanding of how individuals or businesses may have an 'Environmental'
impact, not only at a local level but also globally, to provide an
understanding of how businesses are being affected by the growing
environmental agenda, and to ensure that delegates gain an appropriate
level of understanding and capability to enable them to develop and
implement an 'Environmental Management System' (EMS).
The delegates had to prepare a portfolio (outside of the training)
of work that would form the basis of an Environmental Management System
(EMS), the portfolio carried 60% of available marks and concluded
with a two hour exam, which accounted for the remaining 40%.
All delegates achieved the required pass mark to gain Partner level
membership of the Chartered Institute of Water and Environmental Management
(CIWEM).
Delegates who passed from Hunter Plastics were Jane Dawson, Rob Blizard,
Steve Lawton, Graham Nannery & Andrew Wearn. |
