In a park some functions have specific responsibilities within the system.
The typical structure of a Park Authority with an Environmental Management System is shown below.
The President and the Board of Directors have the function of senior management and the director is that of the representative of the senior management.
The figure of the Manager of the Environmental Management System is useful, who is responsible for the operational functioning of the same: it can be identified as an internal resource (the director himself or an employee, or in an external resource).
His task is to:
- manage system documentation (ie keep archives, regulatory repertoire, documentation up to date);
- perform internal and external audits of those who wanted to qualify as "environmental quality suppliers";
- proceed with the qualification of suppliers of goods and services and of "environmental quality";
- take care of performance and environmental conditions control as well as management of "non-conformities" and corrective actions;
- organize internal and external training plans as well as internal and external communication plans.
