Probably most time-intensive task, but it’s the basis for the rest of the EMSInvolve people familiar with operations! Don’t do it all yourself, you miss a key opportunity to develop understanding & involvementRemember positive environmental aspects (e.g., enhancements to the environment)Be thorough—identify all aspects within the scope you set for your EMS
