HHS 2004 Environmental Workshop ProceedingsExecutive Order 13148, Greening the Government through Leadership in Environmental Management requires that training be conducted regarding requirements and implementation of environmental management systems (EMS). To ensure continuity in training efforts within the Department, the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Environmental Quality Office hosted in 2004, for the third year, its annual environmental workshop, which covered a myriad of topics related to EMS.
