The Environment and the Workplace University of Wales Trinity Saint David

Course Overview

This course explores environmental processes, e.g. carbon, water and nitrogen cycles and how the learner's organisation impacts upon them through the assessment of pollution sources, pathways and receptors. It identifies roles and responsibilities with respect to local and national environmental legislation, and shows how the assessment process is an essential step towards the development of an environmental management system (EMS). Consideration will be given to the ways that greenhouse gases contribute to climate change and the principles behind internationally recognised philosophies.

Assessment
