Environmental Inspection Cycle (EIC)

For many people in IMPEL (the user), the EIC is well known and is a good way of understanding what tools are available and what IMPEL has developed to help them carry out their work. The EIC is a good way of ‘organising’ the different tools / guidance / manuals we have produced. However, not all of IMPEL’s tools/guidance/manuals fall neatly under the EIC and so we will still need the possibility to highlight these under the sub-categories: categories Guidance, Manuals, Checklists or Web-based.

As we are developing new tools and guidance each year, it should also be possible and relatively straightforward to update with new information.
