  10. IMPLEMENTING ISO 14001: 2004 • Initial Review • Management commitment • Aspects Identification

  11. ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS • Definition: • Element of an organisation’s activities, products or services that can interact with the environment.

  12. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS • Definition: • Any change to environment whether adverse, or beneficial, wholly or partially resulting from an organisation’s activities, products or services.

  13. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS • Raw materials, products, services, activities, releases • Direct & indirect effects • Long or short term • Adverse or beneficial • Local, regional, global • Bali Conference

  14. IMPACT EVALUATION • Identify all activities & processes • Identify EMS aspects • Quantify if possible • Gather data on releases • Evaluate significance

  15. ASPECT IDENTIFICATION • Normal operations • Cleaning & maintenance • Abnormal events • Emergencies, incidents • Potential hazards • Past, present & planned actions

  16. Waste from production Emissions Leakages Scrap product Transport (own fleet) Packaging Raw material sources Product use & disposal Investments Energy usage Transport (external) DIRECT OR INDIRECT

  17. DECIDING SIGNIFICANCE • Evaluate severity of effects • Evaluate quantities • Assess frequency • Undertake a scoring exercise • Record results • Communicate results • Repeat as necessary

  18. MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES • Set policies on waste prevention & recycling • Establish control systems • Establish monitoring systems • Set objectives & targets • Ensure EMS awareness • Monitor performance • Review & encourage EMS improvements

  19. CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT • Monitor objectives & targets • Monitor complaints, corrective & preventive actions • Improvement programmes • Internal EMS audit • Management review of EMS

  20. EMERGENCY PLANNING • Consider fire, flood, power loss, chemical spillage, emissions, storms, earthquake, insurrection transport accidents,explosions • Failure to control a significant aspect • Plan for mitigation, recovery & clean up

  21. PREVENTIVE MEASURES • Air emissions monitoring • Water discharge monitoring • Solid waste monitoring • Waste reduction • Energy reduction

  22. REDUCED LIABILITIES • Environmental hazard liabilities can be reduced by action • Reduction in quantities & types of hazardous materials reduces risks • Emergency preparedness

  23. LOCAL ISSUES • Groundwater pollution • Air emissions • Visual impacts • Land use or contamination • Odour • Noise • Traffic

  24. BUSINESS BENEFITS • Image enhancement • Community relations • Acceptance of shareholders • Friendlier pressure groups • Better relations with legislators • Better employee relations • Reduced liabilities • Cost savings go directly into profits
