Dakota’s Management Systems modules contain the full text of select widely-accepted consensus standards, feature checklist questions for assessing the performance of EHS Management Systems, and provide a framework for planning and managing tasks to implement EHS Management Systems on an ongoing basis.

ISO 45000

For facilities interested in establishing, implementing, and maintaining an occupational health and safety (OHS) management system to improve occupational health and safety, to eliminate hazards, and to minimize risks. This module is a comprehensive tool for conducting a gap analysis of the status of your occupational health and safety management system relative to the BS ISO 45001 standard and for planning tasks to maintain your system and improve your OHS performance. It links the requirements in BS ISO 45001 with the implementation guidance in BS 45002. The module may be used as a stand-alone system or as an Add-On to the standard Dakota Federal System.

Publications Covered:

  • BS ISO 45001 (full text plus protocol)
  • BS 45002 (full text)

EMS/ISO 14000

For facilities interested in attaining or retaining ISO 14001 certification or designing and maintaining an environmental management system based on the ISO framework. This module is a comprehensive tool for conducting a gap analysis of where you stand relative to the ISO 14001 environmental management system specification, creating corrective actions to eliminate any gaps discovered, and managing tasks to implement the EMS on an ongoing basis. It also provides access to the text of ISO environmental labeling and life cycle assessment guidelines to help you improve your environmental management system and associated practices. The EMS/ISO 14000 module may be used as a stand-alone system or as an Add-On Module to the standard Dakota Federal System.

Standards Covered:

  • ISO 14001:2015 (full text plus audit protocol)
  • ISO 14004:2016 (full text plus audit protocol)
  • ANSI/ISO 14020 (full text)
  • ANSI/ISO 14021 (full text)
  • ANSI/ISO 14024 (full text)
  • ANSI/ISO 14040 (full text)


Responsible Care Management System

For members of the American Chemistry Council (ACC) required to comply with the RCMS® or RC 14001 specification to maintain their ACC membership or any facility interested in a framework for developing and implementing an environment, health, safety, and security (EHS&S) management system.This module is a comprehensive tool for conducting a gap analysis of where you stand relative to ACC's environmental, health, safety, and security performance improvement initiative, RCMS®. Facilities interested in RC14001 certification can use the RCMS module to assess their EHS&S management system together with Dakota's EMS/ISO 14000 module to assess implementation of the increased documentation and rigorous auditing requirements of ISO 14001. The RCMS module may be used as a stand-alone system or as an Add-On to the standard Dakota Federal System.

Publications Covered:

  • The RCMS Technical Specification
  • The RCSM Implementation Guidance

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions

For any facility participating in a voluntary or mandatory greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions registry, emissions reduction program, or market-based cap and trade program. This module is a tool for building, assessing, maintaining, and improving systems for managing GHG emissions and complying with the basic elements of commonly used GHG emissions programs. It includes detailed coverage of the Department of Energy's 1605(b) voluntary GHG reduction program (10 CFR 300), and a general overview of other voluntary programs currently available with links to resources for further details and information.

Publications Covered:

  • Department of Energy 1605(b) Program (10 CFR 300)
