Template designed to help metal finishers create an environmental management system (EMS).

Metal Finishing EMS Template
EPA Region 9

EPA Region 9 developed the attached Metal Finishing EMS Template (Template) for participants in a 7-part workshop series on EMS implementation. This Template is not designed as a "stand-alone" document, and instead is intended to complement the material presented in the workshops. While the Template includes industry-specific tools and guidance on the basic elements of an EMS that can help ease implementation, most small- and medium-sized companies are not expected to implement an EMS solely using the Template.
