Gapanalys mellan ISO 14001:2015 och OKGs verksamhetssystem

Sammanfattning: Sustainable development is something people have been talking about for decades and it is something many organizations working with globally. One way to work with it is to introduce an environmental management system that helps an organization to improve their environmental performance and meet its environmental objectives. ISO 14001 is a standard applicable environmental management system that organizations can certify against. 2015 came a new ISO 14001, so companies that today have the old standard from 2004 need to analyze the new set of requirements and implement it in their operations. OKG, which owns three nuclear reactors in Sweden is certified to ISO 14001: 2004. The purpose of this report is to examine the gaps that exist between the different standards and which of these gaps are gaps against OKG's operational systems. The methods for performing gap analysis consists of information, meetings, training, and data collection, some of the gap analysis has been done at OKG. The outcome of the gap analysis shows that it is not only the standard's structure and composition that has changed. Many new requirements have been added and it has become tougher demands on top management's commitment and dedication to the organization's environmental management system. Some requirements have similar structure in the old and new standard. Other demands have however been given a more detailed design in the new standard. Discussions are ongoing on how much work needs to be done on the introduction of the new standard, everything depends on how the organization's environmental management system is today. OKG belonging to an industry with high demands already have a part of the new standard implemented in their operations, partly due to the company is certified to the old standard, partly due to other standards authority in some respects makes similar demands on the activities OKG conducts. The conclusion shows, as already mentioned, that some of the new requirements have already been taken into custody in OKG's operational systems while in other cases it has identified gaps where further analysis needs to be done and correct implementation is verified before the new requirements take effect. The implemented gap analysis forms the basis for OKG's continued efforts to implement the new standard.
