You are auditing a regional distribution depot of Park and Spend, a major retail chain. In a corner, you notice a steel drum sitting in a pool of liquid, which is slightly leaking across a passageway which has a barrier to prevent access. You ask the Depot Manager what is in the drum and are told it is hydraulic oil for the forklift trucks. When you ask why it is kept there, you are told that it is not normally kept there, but one of the forklift trucks reversed into it during the previous shift when it was waiting to be moved to a maintenance area. He says that he will get the floor cleaned up right away.
Select the two options that would give you cause for concern in relation to conformance to ISO 14001.

• A.The wheels of the forklift trucks could create a slip risk by spreading the oil throughout the depot.

• C.The oil spilled may be a fire risk if it comes into contact with a hot surface.
• D.The oil from the leaking drum may cause ground contamination.
• E.The oil drum was found in the wrong location, where it was exposed to collision with a forklift truck.

Whistlekleen is a national dry cleaning and laundry organisation with 50 shops. You are conducting an EMS surveillance audit of Head Office and are sampling environmental performance measurement. You find that
80 per cent of failures to meet performance criteria originate from five shops in the same region.

The cleaning equipment needs replacing but the organisation cannot afford it at the moment.
On raising the matter with senior management, you are told that there are plans to replace the equipment in these shops over the next five years.
Select two options that apply to how you should respond to the information given.

• A.Evaluate whether the process for measuring environmental performance is effective
• B.Extend the audit plan to include the five shops
• C.Raise an opportunity for improvement (OI) to reduce damaging emissions
• D.Determine if the local authority has been informed that the organisation is exceeding VOC emissions
• E.Criticise the equipment replacement period as being too environmentally damaging for too long
• F.Recommend that staff in the five shops should have medical check-ups due to air pollution
