Legal & Aspect-Impact Registers – More Information (Video)

To meet ISO 14001 Legal and other requirements, an organization must demonstrate two things. First, that it understands which environmental laws and regulations (federal, provincial and local) govern its operations. And second, it must show that it is up to date with the requirements set out in the laws and regulations. NIMONIK solves these challenges. See the video below for a demo.

Many sites have legal registers related to their Environmental Management Systems (EMS). These registers are often not kept up to date. With NIMONIK you can upload your register, the NIMONIK system will then keep it up to date and notify you of relevant changes. You can export the register at anytime in excel format for backup or an audit. More information here.

For SMEs who want to test the legal register functionality, we offer a free template that you can use to get up and running quickly.
