The main aim of the standard is stimulation of activities in preservation of the environment and prevention of its pollution in accordance with social and economical needs. In October 2001, the decision about "Baltija" Shipbuilding Yard to implement the International Standard ISO 14001:1996 has taken. From March till November 2002 the Yard was preparing for the audit that had to evaluate the results of the work. During the preparation for the external audit two internal ones were conducted in order to reveal the shortcomings of the system implementation work. |
