Environmental Practitioner

Environmental Practitioner Principles

In the absence of National Occupational Standards for environmental skills at level (3), Environmental Practice at Work Ltd has developed underlying principles that reflect various recognised national and international environment and business standards.

The principles are based on the Declaration of the 3rd Ministerial Conference on Environment & Health [World Health Organisation 1999]*.They reflect best practices in Health & Safety, Quality & Environment Management, Social Partnership, and Sustainable Development.

These Underlying Principles of the Environmental Practitioner Programme inform the environmental skills required and the consequent competences arising from these skills.

An Environmental Practitioner will be somebody who is aware of the main environmental issues, can assess the significance the environment impacts of their own workplace, make recommendations for improvement and promote sustainable development.
