During the opening meeting, you are informed that when COVID-19 started, sales increased considerably, so they had to open a third shift, from 10 pm to 6 am. You interview the Production Manager.

You are reviewing the contract with the Service Manager (SM). An addendum to the contract only requires that biological waste is disposed of in the most environmentally friendly way, without reference to any regulatory requirements.
    You: How was the waste disposal plan for the contract developed?
    SM: We have a basic template that covers the materials, labour requirements and methods to be employed.
    Some of that is specified by the contractor.
    You: How does the plan deal with specific items like biological waste, which are included in the contract and can pose biological hazards to the environment?
    SM: The basic plan covers general waste, but we have an addendum that covers biological waste.
    You: Are you aware of the regulatory requirements for waste disposal standards in hospitals?
    SM: Yes but we depend on the contractor to look after that side of things.
    You raise a nonconformity against section 8.1.d of ISO 14001.
    At the Stage 2 closing meeting of the audit, the EMS Manager objects to the nonconformity raised and asks for it to be withdrawn. He insists that they meet all the regulations.
    Choose one of the options that the audit team leader should take in response to the request.

    Sparkle is an organisation that provides mobile car cleaning services at customers ' premises. It has been certified to ISO 14001 for some time and has appointed a full-time Environmental Management System Manager.

    The minutes indicate that the Environmental Management System Manager reported that the last review of the organisation ' s environmental legislation register was made three years ago instead of annually as planned in the Environmental Management System. At that time, he asked for finances to employ a legislation expert to update the register but was denied the request by top management on the basis that it was unlikely that many changes to legislation had occurred. No related improvement actions were documented in the minutes.
    Based on the scenario, select the two options which best describe the evidence for raising such a non- conformity.
