question 2 of 6
(emc)

• the audit scope is defined by protocols, written policies, and procedures that are adopted by all facilities.
• team leaders and the environmental maintenance committee monitor the completion of the actions identified in the corrective action plan on a quarterly basis.
• follow - up reviews are strongly advised.

q. what is not a likely reason why ems efforts were expanded to vdots testing and chemistry labs?
a. testing and chemistry labs were the first to model waste management practices that were then adapted by other industries.
b. problems with safety and environmental compliance were identified in these types of facilities.
c. testing and chemistry labs needed a strategy for managing waste streams.

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• Option B: If safety/environmental compliance issues were identified, expanding EMS makes sense.
• Option C: Labs needing waste stream management would justify EMS expansion.
• Option A: The text provided (about audit scope, monitoring, follow - up) doesn't indicate labs were first to model practices for other industries. This is an unlikely reason for EMS expansion to these labs.

Answer:

A. Testing and chemistry labs were the first to model waste management practices that were then adapted by other industries.
