What is Environment????

surroundings of an object

sum of all living and non-living things that

surround an organism, or group of

organisms

Types of Environment

Natural environment is not man-made, such as Earth and all ofits natural component including ground water, flora and fauna. It isfull of beauty and hazards.

Induced environment are those been affected by humanaction e.g. highly polluted air that results from exhaust emissionsof automobiles in heavily populated cities.

Controlled environment is a natural or induced environmentthat has been changed in some way to reduce or eliminatepotential environmental hazards e.g. a home or workplace that iscooled to reduce potential hazards associated with heat.

Artificial environment one that fully created to prevent definitehazardous conditions from affecting people or material e.g.

environment within the space shuttle. Closed environment one that is completely or almost

completely shut off from natural environment. Both controlled andartificial environment must be closed.

Free environment one that does not interfere with the freemovement of air.

Introduction by man, waste matter or

surplus energy into the environment,which directly or indirectly causes

damage to man and his environment

Environmental Management

Systems (EMS)

What is an EMS?

Part of overall management structure

Purpose of EMS

Address immediate & long-term environmental

impacts

Why have an EMS?Provide order and consistency in methods

EPA View of EMS Purpose(United States Environmental Protection Agency, www.epa.gov/ems/info/index.htm

System wide approach to environmental

management

Incorporates environmental considerations

into daily organization decisions

Provides a framework to continually improveenvironmental performance

Components of Management System

Step 1: Establishing a policy statement

Step 2: PlanningStep 3: Implementing and operating

Step 4: Checking

Step 5: Reviewing


14/51

Designing, Developing and Implementing a

Management System: Step 1 - Establishing a policy

statement

A policy statement will outline the strategic values that are most

important to the company and provide the foundation upon which

you build your management system.

Documented, communicated and available both internally and

externally

It should address what is important to your business and/or yourclients and your companys strategic values

Consider avoiding vague statements

14


15/51

Step 2 -Planning

Planning is critical and should be as holistic as practical.

1. Identify the elements of the organizations activities, products and

services that intersect with the companys policy.

Which can the organization control and/or influence?

Which are the most important to control?

2. Establish a process to identify legal and other requirements, and

to maintain compliance.

3. Set goals to help you achieve and continue to improve upon your

management system.

15


16/51

Step 3 -Implementing and operating

Identify the requirements necessary to execute against your policy and

plans:

Defined roles and responsibilities

Identify proper skills, education and/or experience necessary for

persons executing the requirements of the management system

Process to communicate relevant information about the management

system and performance to employees and other interested parties

Document and control the core elements of the management system

that are essential to maintain operational control

Plan for emergency situations

18/51

Step 4 -Checking

Establish a process to monitor performance, legal compliance and theexecution of management system requirements.

The self-assessments and/or internal audits should closely examine whether:

Employees are aware of the policy statement and understand how what

they do in their job might impact it

The company is in compliance with legal and other requirements

Procedures, processes and related documents exist where necessary for

the management system to be maintained in a sustainable manner

Identify records that must be maintained to demonstrate legal compliance

and operational control

18


19/51

Step 5 - Reviewing

Periodic review with top management. Some elements of this

review should include:

Status of goals and targets

Status of compliance with legal and other applicable requirements

Identification of any changes to business operations

Discussion regarding opportunities for improvement

Any resulting action that management identifies as a need forchanges to the management system, goals, other opportunities forimprovement or is there a need to change the policy statement?

The ISO 14000 Series of Standards

The term ISO 14000 Series refers to a family ofenvironmental management standard that coverthe five disciplines:

environmental management system environmental auditor criteria (these criteria

may be used by internal/external auditors andexternal third-party auditors)

environmental performance evaluation criteria environmental labeling criteria

Life-cycle assessment methods.


22/51

The ISO is a specialized international organizationwhose members are the national standards bodies of111 countries.

All standards developed by ISO are voluntary

ISO 14000 is a series of international standards onenvironmental management.

"ISO 14000" is the first international attempt tostandardize environmental management practicesaround the world.

ISO 14000 will help integrate the environmentalmanagement systems of companies that trade with eachother in all corners of the world.

An ISO 14001:2004-based EMS

An EMS meeting the requirements of ISO 14001:2004 is a

management tool enabling an organization of any size or

type to:

identify and control the environmental impact of its activities,

products or services, and to

improve its environmental performance continually, and to

implement a systematic approach to setting environmental

objectives and targets, to achieving these and to

demonstrating that they have been achieved.

The European Union continues to advance

legislation to protect her population from

exposure to hazardous substances used

in products as well as during product

disposal.


31/51

In 2007, the European Union adopted the REACHregulations which bring unprecedented scope,complexity and mandatory tracking of substances inmost every article (product) that Europeans use.

The REACH regulation: Regulation, Evaluation,Authorization of Chemicals; requires the registration ofhazardous substances that are sold, imported,manufactured or used in quantities exceeding 1 ton/yearand covers substances on their own, in preparations, or

used in a manufacturers articles.


32/51

REACH is one of the most comprehensive and far-

reaching pieces of environmental legislation to come out

of the European Union.

Compliance with REACH is mandatory for continued

sales of chemicals and products in the European Union.

RE

ACH goes beyond the hazardous material contentrequirements starting with registering substances

intentionally released during manufacturing.


33/51

These substances must be registered for the purposeand have a chemical safety report when used in quantityabove a threshold level.

Over 30,000 chemicals are expected to fall under thescope of the REACH directive, and require thatmanufacturers, importers and distributors of substances,preparations and articles fulfill REACH obligations.

Additionally, approximately 1,000 other materials areconsidered Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC)and prohibited by REACH.


34/51

REACH aims at

- improving the protection of human health and theenvironment from the risks that can be posed by

chemicals;- enhancing the competitiveness of the EEA chemicals

industry, a key sector for the economy of the EEA;

- promoting alternative methods for the assessment of

hazards of substances;- ensuring the free circulation of substances on the internal

market of the European Union.

Testing of chemicals and substances

including:

Physico-chemical testing

Toxicological testing

Eco-toxicological testing

Environmental fate

Residues testing and analysis
