PECB Certified EMS ISO 14001 Lead Auditor Sample Questions:
Question 1
A chain of 10 paint shops in a city has established an EMS following the requirements of ISO 14001, which was third-party certified 10 years ago. You are performing a second-party audit. The audit plan included an interview with the General Manager (GM). The dialogue was as follows:
You: Hi, good evening. I have seen well-developed environmental risk assessment processes. However, I did not find the identification of emergency situations included in the results of this process. The Environmental Manager (EM) could not provide me with an acceptable answer to this question.
GM: The EM joined us two months ago, and he may not know some decisions we made some time ago, when we first certified our EMS. During those days, I met with all 10 supervisors and asked them what the emergencies were that they feared most. They unanimously said: fire. That was it. This is the only emergency we care about. As far as I remember, we do not test the plan very often because the supervisors of all our 10 shops know it very well. The auditors of our certification body accepted this. We have not had a fire in the last 10 years.
What evidence would you need to review to determine conformity with ISO 14001 in this scenario? Select six
.
A. Minutes of the meeting with supervisors where a fire was determined as the only emergency situation.
B. Reports of the management reviews.
C. Replacements of supervisors of each shop when they are absent (for any reason).
D. Number of persons working in each shop.
E. Signage related to health and safety in each shop.
F. Reports of audits from the certification body.
G. Records of the specific fire combat training of workers.
H. Reports of the last two fire drills performed.
I. Shops that have tested the plan in the last 10 years.
J. General competence records of all 10 supervisors.
K. Results of the inspection of fire extinguishers.
L. More details on whether the risk assessment process was applied to emergencies.
Question 2
Which one of the following conclusions in the audit report is not required by the certification body when deciding to grant certification?
A. The scope of certification has been fulfilled.
B. The corrections taken by the organisation related to major nonconformities have been accepted.
C. The plans to address corrective actions related to minor nonconformities have been accepted.
D. The organisation fully complies with all legal and other requirements applicable to the Environmental Management System.
Question 3
A small services organisation has been contracted to handle the disposal of waste for a local hospital. You are an auditor conducting a Stage 2 audit of the care home to ISO 14001. You are reviewing the contract with the Service Manager (SM). An addendum to the contract only requires that biological waste is disposed of in the most environmentally friendly way, without reference to any regulatory requirements.
You: How was the waste disposal plan for the contract developed?
SM: We have a basic template that covers the materials, labour requirements and methods to be employed.
Some of that is specified by the contractor.
You: How does the plan deal with specific items like biological waste, which are included in the contract and can pose biological hazards to the environment?
SM: The basic plan covers general waste, but we have an addendum that covers biological waste.
You: Are you aware of the regulatory requirements for waste disposal standards in hospitals?
SM: Yes but we depend on the contractor to look after that side of things.
You raise a nonconformity against section 8.1.d of ISO 14001.
At the Stage 2 closing meeting of the audit, the EMS Manager objects to the nonconformity raised and asks for it to be withdrawn. He insists that they meet all the regulations.
Choose one of the options that the audit team leader should take in response to the request.
A. Offer to downgrade the nonconformity to an opportunity for improvement if the organisation can prove its compliance with regulations.
B. Consult with the auditor who raised the nonconformity and ask whether he will agree to withdraw it.
C. Confirm that it is a valid nonconformity supported by a lack of evidence for meeting the requirement.
D. Advise that the nonconformity will be reconsidered after the meeting.
Question 4

A. a minor conformity
B. a major non-conformity
C. a recommendation
D. a conformity
Question 5
