ISO 14001 certification in Geelong at a glance
Viva Energy's Geelong Refinery describes itself as a major hazard facility and a vital part of Australia's energy security, and a few kilometres away GeelongPort handles bulk cargo on Corio Bay. Between them they produce a long chain of contractors, hauliers and suppliers who work on, around and for sites where a spill, a flare event or a dust complaint becomes public quickly. ISO 14001 gives each firm a structured way to answer: identify environmental aspects and impacts, keep a register of legal obligations, set objectives, control operations, monitor, audit and improve. Sterling's Sydney office builds the system around your real activities, trains internal auditors and prepares you for an audit by an accredited certification body. Environmental law is dealt with on the country page.

ISO 14001 in Geelong: questions clients ask
Which Geelong operations commonly pursue ISO 14001?
Refinery contractors, port and bulk-cargo operators, manufacturers in the advanced-materials sector and food processors. Principals and customers usually set the requirement. The refinery's status as a major hazard facility and the port's bulk cargoes make environmental aspects easy to identify.
What do Geelong contractors to the refinery typically need to show?
Safety first, then environmental controls. Principals at major hazard facilities prequalify contractors on how they manage environmental and safety risk, and ISO 14001 is one way to evidence the environmental side. The exact requirement lies in the principal's contractor management rules, so read those first.
