Non-conformities and improvement proposals
Non-conformities and improvement proposals are important in order to identify what does not work or what can be improved within the operation to fulfil the continual improvement requirement in ISO 14001. Non-conformities are requirements that have not been fulfilled. This applies to requirements at all levels within the operation, i.e. instructions, objectives and policy. For example, a non-conformity can be that an instruction is not followed or that employees do not work according to an adopted policy.
Non-conformities must always be addressed, and procedures must be checked in order to avoid similar events in the future. Improvement proposals do not result in absolute action requirements, but they are very important in order to fulfill the continual improvement requirement.
If you have a suggestion about how to reduce SLU’s environmental impact or you wish to draw attention to something that does not conform to SLU’s procedures, you can submit a report via the SLU reporting system IA (link below). All employees and students can contribute.
NB: When reporting an environment-related issue, select Environment in under the What? drop-down menu. A second drop-down menu will appear below: Underhändelsetyp [Event] where you can select either Avvikelse [Non-conformity] or Förbättringsförslag [Improvement proposal].
