The document outlines the key elements of an environmental management system (EMS) according to ISO 14001, including establishing an environmental policy, identifying environmental impacts, setting objectives and targets, training employees, documenting the system, implementing operational controls, monitoring performance, conducting audits and management reviews, and continually improving the system. It discusses the need for ISO 14001 certification, costs and benefits of an EMS, and notes some advantages of implementing an EMS for small and medium-sized organizations.

- 8. Commitments to Compliance •Compliance with legal requirements is a critical consideration in EMS – Develop & communicate policy that includes commitment to compliance – Objectives and targets are in line with compliance – Management programs address this apsect – Operational controls address this aspect too
- 9. (Prevention of Pollution)P2 Hierarchy P2 Hierarchy Source reduction In process re cycling Other re cycling Treatment & recovery Control mechanisms
- 10. Environmental Aspect An Organization’sActivities, Products or Services that can interact with The Environment.
- 11. Environmental Aspects: element of an organization’s activities, products or services that can interact with the environment Industry & Environmental Interactions
- 12. Key Elements ofan EMS • Identifying environmental aspects – How an organization interfaces with the environment and • Can control & have influence » Which significant impact would be considered as significant Aspects » Look beyond laws & regulations while deciding them » Identifying significant aspects could be challenging and rewarding too!
- 13. Identifying Aspects o Operationsand activities that interface with Environment o Materials,energy sources and other resources we use o Do we have emissions to Air ,Water or Land ? o Do we generate wastes ? o Land or infrastructure interaction ? o Activities leading to accidental releases? o Use of recycled paper
- 14. Potential Aspects • Airemissions • Solid & Hazardous wastes • Contamination of land • Noise,odour,dust,traffic • Water discharges • Energy use • Resource use • Hazardous material handling & storage
- 15. IMPACTS adverse or beneficial Anychange to the Environment resulting from organization’s Activities, Products or Services e.g. Global Warming Air Pollution Acid Rain
- 16. • Soil &Groundwater contamination • Air Pollution • Degradation of aquatic habitat & • drinking water supply • Depletion of natural resources • Increase in ground level ozone Potential Impacts
- 17. Evaluating impacts Are theimpacts • Actual or potential? • Beneficial or damaging? • magnitude or degree • Frequency or likelihood • Duration & geographic area • Parts of the environment • Interested parties
- 18. Key Elements ofan EMS • Legal & other requirements – Setting the legal framework for your EMS • Identify and communicate applicable legal & other requirements & • Ensure that these requirements are factored into the organization’s management efforts » Identify legal requirements » Analyze impacts » Communicate » Act
- 19. Key Elements ofan EMS • Objectives & Targets – Esatblishing goals for environmental management • Objective- Overall environmental goal,arising from the environmental policy that organization sets itself to achieve,and which is quantified where applicable. • Target- Detailed performance requirement,that arises from the objective and that needs to be set and met in order to achieve these objectives. » Your objectives and targets should reflect what your organization does,how well it is performing and what it wants to achieve.
- 20. Key Elements ofan EMS • Environmental Management Program(s) – A Roadmap for achieving environmental goals • Should define – The responsibilities for achieving goals – The means for achieving goals – The time farme for achieving these goals It should be dynamic and linked directly to objectives & targets • It should describe how the organization will translate its goals and policies commitments into concrete actions so that objectives and targets are achieved
- 21. Key Elements ofan EMS • Structure & Responsibility – Aligning your resources to succeed • Appoint Management Representative – Determine the scope of EMP – Know your significant environmental aspects and compliance needs – Objectives • Build flexibility into the organization • Communicate to people thru respy matrix
- 22. Key Elements ofan EMS • Training, Awareness & Competency – Building internal capabilities • Train people for – Motivation – Awareness – Commitment – Skills/Capability – Compliance – performance • Every employee has an impact on environment
- 23. Key Elements ofan EMS • EMS Documentation – Describing the EMS and how pieces fit together • Documentation should include – Env Policy – EMS Manual – Procedures – Forms /Drawings • Environmental Management Program
- 24. Key Elements ofan EMS • Document Control – Ensuring that everyone works with the right tools • Suggested elements – Currency of documents – Doc No – Cross referneces – Disposition of obsolete documents • Is everyone working with the same set of docs • Do people who need access have access?
- 25. Key Elements ofan EMS • Operational Control – Building environmental performance into operations & activities • Like – Management & disposal of wastes – Approval of new chemicals – Storage & Handling of chemicals – Wastewater treatment – Operation of paintline – Operation of plating system – Management of contractors • Risk of activity • Skills/training of workforce
- 26. Key Elements ofan EMS • Emergency preparedness & Reponse – Minimizing the impacts of uncontrolled events • Must have provision for – Assessing the potential for accidents & emergencies – Preventing incidents and their associated environmental impacts – Plans/procedures for responding to incidents – Perioding testing of emergency plans(mock drills) – Mitigating impacts associated with it • Conduct false alarm exercise • Ways of accident prevention
- 27. Key Elements ofan EMS • Monitoring & Measurement • Assessing how well the system is performing • Enable the organization to – Evaluate environmental performance – Assess compliance with legal requirements – Identify areas requiring corrective actions – Improve performance & increase efficiency • Monitor key characteristics • Track performance, calibrate and maintain
- 28. Key Elements ofan EMS • Corrective / Preventive Action • Fixing EMS problems-and avoiding them in future • Ensure that – Problems are identified and investigated – Actions are identified and implemented – Actions are tracked and their effectiveness is verified • Think about opportunities for improvement
- 29. Key Elements ofan EMS • Records • Evidence that EMS is working as intended • Ensure that – Required EMS records are identified – Have focus on the records that add value – They are simple and understandable – They have a retention period – They have access to the right people • How they are disposed off !
- 30. Key Elements ofan EMS • EMS Auditing • Objective evidence of conformance • Does Audit – Add value to your system – Surfaces significant deficiencies – Review effectiveness of corrective actions • Set the objective of audit based on analysis of previous data,previous audits and internal audit outcomes.

- 32. Key Performance Indicators (KPI) Kgs of VOC emitted per unit of production Kgs of hazardous waste generated per year Percentage of employees completing environmental training Average time for resolving non conformities Energy use per unit of production Water use per unit of production Percentage of solid waste recycled Percentage of reduction in emissions
- 33. EMS Costs andBenefits Costs • Staff ( Manager’s ) time • Other employees’time • Workforce times • Potential consulting assistance • Outside training of personnel • Investment on environment related equipment
- 34. EMS Costs andBenefits Benefits • Improved environmental performance • Fewer accidents/Reduced Liability • Enhanced customer trust • Waste minimization • Minimization of risks/health hazards and calamities • Increased efficiency/Reduced costs • Enhanced Compliance to environment legislation • Continual improvement
- 35. EMS Costs andBenefits Benefits.. Employee awareness of environmental issues and responsibilities Prevention of pollution Resource Conservation Enhanced image with public/regulators and lenders New customers /Markets Enhanced employee morale Sustainable development
- 36. Advantages of beingSmall & Medium Sized Organizations Lines of communication are shorter Organization structures are less complex People often perform multiple functions Process are generally well understood Access to the management is simpler An effective envronment management is easier
