  1. Integrating Environmental Management System (EMS) Requirements and Work ControlsApril 21, 2004 Denny Hjeresen, EMS Team Lead, LANL Gene Turner, NNSA Lead, LASO

  2. Gap Analysis Results • LANL has most of the required EMS tools in place but has not integrated them into a usable system. • There is a need for top management engagement. • Gaps exist in training. • Mechanisms needed to integrate across organizations and requirements.

  3. Integration of Programs • LANL EMS Core Team and Element Teams Built from the Division Level up • Linked to Integrated Safety Management • Revisions to ISM Description Document done • Implementing lab-wide communications now • My LANL Portal, Web Access, Software integration • Website: http://ems.lanl.gov/test • EMS Communications Plan - continuous development • Meshing EMS with Integrated Work Controls • Phase II of Integrated Work Management Program links environment, security and quality controls

  4. Environmental Requirements in Integrated Work Mgmt. • Environmental issues equally weighted with safety, health and security • Process identifies environmental aspects and impacts and their controls • Process projects waste volumes • Process identifies environmentally preferable alternatives • Process requires waste disposition pathway and waste management checklist

  5. Combined Efforts • Environmental Management System (EMS) developing: • Activity-based environmental aspects and impacts and prioritizing • Integrated Work Controls developing: • Work approval process • Automated Hazard Identification Tool • RCRA Corrective Actions developing: • Root cause analysis • Corrective Actions

  6. Linkage route RRCA Lessons Environmental Impacts Hazards Work Controls Worker Feedback Management Review Post-job evaluation Pre-job Checking

  7. Outcomes and Benefits • Integrates environment, safety, health and security into the life-cycle of work • Inserts RCRA tools into work processes • Provides tracking of wastes • Uses pollution prevention to reduce risk • Raises worker awareness of environmental issues, including RCRA, for continuous improvement • Reduces violations and fines • EMS cost is shared with IWMP

  8. Completed EMS Progress - 4/21/04 In Process Next Steps Environmental Management Program Identify Organizations Aspects ISM/EMS Documentation/Plan Develop ISM/EMS Procedures Identify Significant Impacts Management Review Process Targets and Objectives Institutional Policy Assessment Program Operational Controls Updating System EMS 12/04 Management Review Checking and Corrective Action Implementation Policy Planning
