field personnel will be enhanced by having them contribute to it during
its formulation and development. The plan must also be reviewed and
approved by the management and legal staff of the company.
Once the plan has been written and approved, an effective training
program should be implemented to educate company personnel on its
contents. This program should include adding environmental issues to
job descriptions and including environmental compliance during job
performance evaluation for promotion and merit salary increases.
