  1. Environmental Management System BY CDR ALOK MOHAN

  2. PDOECL celebrates world quality week commencing 10 Nov 2014:- Theme of the day “Uniting the world with environmental friendly Ship Building”

  3. Environmental management involves the management of all components of the  both living and non-living This is due to the interconnected and network of relationships amongst all living species and their Habitats Environment protection can start from the very root, i.e. from around our self Avoid use of motor vehicles use bicycle or walk down Discipline yourself not to use air-conditioner Reduce using Electricity, Petrol, Diesel etc Educate people about recycling reusing plastic, glass etc

  4. Help protecting environment by Clean, efficient, and cost-effective forms of renewable energy Raise emission standards in all carbon-emitting vehicles Buy and consume foods and other products that are locally grown/manufactured to cut down on transportation fuel consumption Educate people around the world about the side-affects of human overpopulation, and practice contraception Allow the development of clean green energy

  5. What is an EMS? Systematic way of managing an organization’s environmental affairs Based on Plan-Do-Check-Act Model (PDCA) Focused on Continual Improvement of system Addresses immediate and long-term impact of an organization’s products, services and processes on the environment. A tool to improve environmental performance

  6. EMS Model Based on the P-D-C-A Model, Plan-Do-Check-Act

  7. EMS Model Based on the P-D-C-A Model, Plan-Do-Check-Act Policy Planning Management Review Implementation Checking Corrective Action

  8. Why Implement an EMS? Struggling to stay in compliance and keep track of regulations/laws Environmental management is just one of many responsibilities Establish a framework to move beyond compliance Vehicle for positive change; improved employee morale, enhanced public image Employee turnover

  9. Why Implement an EMS? • Helps to identify the causes of environmental problems. • better to make a product right the first time • cheaper to prevent a spill or other accident • cost effective to prevent pollution • Trade and competitive issues • Inconsistency in environmental regulation and enforcement • Many individual parts may already be in place – just need to unify under the EMS umbrella!

  10. ISO 14000: A series of standards • Created by the International Organization of Standardization, a non-governmental organization (NGO) established in 1947 • ISO is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies from over 100 countries; American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is US representative. They have created many standards

  11. ISO 14000 Family • A series of guidance documents and standards to help organizations address environmental issues. Ones below deal with EMS. • 14001: Environmental Management Systems • 14004: EMS general guidelines • 14010: Guidelines for Environmental Auditing • 14011: Guidelines for Auditing of an EMS • 14012: Auditing - Qualification criteria

  12. To Whom Do these Standards Apply? Standard is Voluntary Large and Small Business & Industry Service Sectors (hospitals, hotels, etc.) City and County Government Applicable to all types of organizations, of all sizes anywhere in the world

  13. Becoming ISO 14001 certified • ISO 14001 is the only certification standard • Registration body examines EMS for conformity to the ISO 14001 standard • Not a compliance audit, an EMS audit • Facility awarded registration • Does NOT mean that products are more environmentally friendly • Does mean have a documented EMS that is fully implemented and consistently followed

  14. Requirements in ISO 14001

  15. ISO 14001 Key Elements • Policy Statement • Identification of Significant Environmental Impacts • Development of Objectives and Targets • Implementation Plan to Meet Obj. and Targets • Training • Management Review How you meet the elements is up to you

  16. ISO 14001 Policy Statement (Section 4.2) • Management’s declaration of commitment to the environment. • Policy Statement • 3 Main Elements (Big 3) • Commitment to Compliance • Commitment to Prevention of Pollution, and • Commitment to Continual Improvement • Broader definition of pollution prevention • Available to Interested Parties

  17. EMS Policy Statement Must be appropriate to the nature, scale and environmental impacts of the organization’s activities, products or services Provides a framework for setting and reviewing objectives and targets Way of communicating environmental mission internally and externally Broader definition of pollution prevention than EPA’s: not just source reduction, but also recycling, treatment, disposal, and material substitution

  18. HOW TWO COMPANIES COMMUNICATED THEIR POLICY STATEMENT TO EMPLOYEES

  19. Aspects and Impacts (Section 4.3.1) • An organization evaluates and addresses its own significant aspects, including non-regulated aspects • May be positive or negative • Think from the fence line: • Aspect: Cause or Input: Element of an organization’s activities, products, or services which can interact with the environment • Impact: Effect or Output: Any change to the environment, whether adverse or beneficial, resulting from an organization’s activities, products, or services

  20. Aspects and Impacts • Consider: • Air emissions • Solid/hazardous waste • Water effluents • Contamination of land • Noise, vibration and odor • Land use, energy use, water use • Raw material and resource use • Positive environmental issues • Example: • Aspect - Radioactive material • Impact – Transportation and storage issues; Environmental contamination

  21. Environmental Aspects Nuisance Impacts Fuel Consumption - Use of a Nonrenewable Resource Training within a Natural Environment (Plant, Wildlife, Wetlands) Training within species habitat Resource Impacts Particulate Matter from Operating Vehicles Off-road Air Emissions from equipment and vehicles Outdoor burning - PM Air Impacts Disposal of Spill Residue Disposal of Solid Waste Disposal of Hazardous Waste Waste Impacts Soil disturbance leading to Erosion and Sedimentation Accidental Spillage - Vehicle /Helicopter/Equipment fluids Gray water Soil Impacts Accidental Spillage - Vehicle/Helicopter/Equipment fluids Gray water Groundwater Impacts Soil disturbance leading to Erosion and Sedimentation Accidental Spillage - Vehicle/Helicopter/Equipment fluids Gray water Surface Water Impacts Environmental Aspects Encampment Input (raw material and labor) Conservation Lead Responsibility - Fish and Wildlife Division, Compliance Division, and Planning Division

  22. Ranking (4.3.1) The organization shall establish and maintain procedures to identify its environmental aspects in order to determine those which can have a significant impact on the environment. Rank aspects and impacts in order to assess their significance Company-specific

  23. Ranking/Significance Scoring Consider: • Environmental Concerns • Regulatory/legal exposure; health/env. risks; conservation • Business Concerns: • Effect on the public image; community concerns • Cost savings; cost recovery period; equipment/facility • Other issues: • Scale, duration, and zone of impact • Probability of occurrence - frequent, likely, possible, • rarely, unlikely • Severity of impact - catastrophic, severe, moderate,

  24. Legal and Other Environmental Requirements (4.3.2) • Setting legal framework for the EMS • have a procedure to identify and access the legal requirements: state, federal, local • have a documented system for keeping up-to-date • communicate to the right people • Industry-specific requirements • CMA Responsible Care • Int’l. Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Charter • Other voluntary requirements • EPA Climate Wise, Waste Wise, 33/50 Program • Green Seal

  25. Planning (4.3) Review policy Establish objectives/targets Develop Env. Mgmt. program Determine legal/ other requirements Determine significant impacts

  26. Objectives &Targets (4.3.3) • The organization shall establish and maintain documented environmental objectives and targets. • Can include commitment to: • reduce waste • reduce or eliminate release of pollutant • design product to minimize environmental impact in production, use, and disposal. • Be realistic. Keep objectives simple, flexible, and measurable.

  27. Objectives &Targets (4.3.3) Reduce generation of hazardous waste Improve indoor air quality by reducing solvent odors Prevent spills Reduce electrical use Reduce spent solvent by 80% by 01/2015 Reduce emissions by 90% by 05/2015 Max. of 2 /yr. by 2015 Reduce electricity use by 10% by 08/2015

  28. Implementation (4.4) • Structure/responsibility (4.4.1) • Training, awareness, & competence (4.4.2) • Communication (internal/external) (4.4.3) • Env. Mgmt. System Documentation (4.4.4) • Document control (4.4.5) • Operational control (4.4.6) • Emergency preparedness and response (4.4.7) Sections overlap: For example, 4.4.2 and 4.4.6 require that employees have info. on EMS as well as knowledge of environmental impacts from operations and activities

  29. Document Control (4.4.5) Manuals Procedures Controls

  30. Checking/Corrective Action (4.5) Monitoring and Measuring (4.5.1) Non-conformance and Corrective/Preventive Action (4.5.2 Records (4.5.3) EMS Auditing (4.5.4)

  31. Monitoring & Measuring (4.5.1) The organization shall establish and maintain documented procedures to monitor and measure ... the key characteristics of its operations that can have a significant impact on the environment. Track how well the system is working Measure the key characteristics of those activities that can have significant impacts Analyze the root causes of problems

  32. Records (4.5.3) • The organization shall establish and maintain procedures for the identification, maintenance and disposition of environmental records • Include - training records, audits, management reviews

  33. Management Reviews (4.6) • Reviews EMS to ensure its continuing suitability, adequacy and effectiveness • Reviews process to ensure necessary information is collected for evaluation • Review must be documented • Consider changes to: • policy • objectives • other EMS elements

  34. Thoughts on EMS Attend an overview class (need a champion, know what’s coming) Start with gap analysis or “road map” 6-18 months to design and fully implement Work in teams or task groups Staff resources Incorporate Health and Safety? Level of Involvement of Suppliers/Contractors Training (internal/lead auditor, overview) Using an accredited trainer/registrar
