Remember “PIC”
Prevention of Pollution
Pollution Prevention =
Controlling Significant Aspects
Exterior Housekeeping
Preventing Spills
So yes, conserving electricity and recycling paper is “Pollution
Prevention”
4.3.1 Environmental Aspects/Impacts
4.3.2 Legislated and Other Requirements.
4.3.3 Objectives, Targets, and Environmental
Management Programs (combine 4.3.3 &

4.3 Planning (“PLAN”)
Activity / Aspect / Impact
An Environmental Aspect refers to an element of our activities, products or services which can
have a beneficial or adverse impact on the environment (i.e., it is the cause of an impact such as
an emission).
A Significant Impact refers to the change which takes place in the environment as a result of
the aspect (i.e., it is the effect of an emission such as the contamination of water).
Significant Environmental
Aspect
A significant environmental aspect is
an environmental aspect that has or
can have a significant environmental
impact…….
These are ABC’s most

environment
Key Question:
What would happen if you lost control of the
aspect?
Under normal operating conditions?
Under start-up conditions?
Under emergency conditions?

Editor's Notes

  • #3 I asked my self what can I impart to a group of industrial leaders that could impact their success? The answer was NOT to spend the time define an ISO 14001 or OHSAS 18001 management system. I want to spend the next few minutes defining the concept of “Strategic Thinking” as it applies to EHS performance and how you can begin to integrate this into your business process.
