EMS

EMS does not have to be certified ISO 14001 Plant personnel can develop the EMS with/without consulting support 3rd-Party Auditors are needed for ISO 14001 certification
EMS Evolution
Until 1960s when gained public attention Corporations reacted to increased legislation Responsible Care Program (Canada) in 1984 British created the first national EM standard BS 7750 in 1994 A Canadian standard Z750 was created in 1994 Legislated in 1993, EU published EMAS in 1994, open in 1995.
In the U.S. no national standard was developed during the 1990s, however
groups of companies did (e.g. GEMI) The first international EMS was ISO 14001 by ISO. Based on:
The success of ISO 9001 Increasing international concern (UN Conference of Rio 1992) Created a Technical Committee 207
The ISO 14001 was published for the first time in 1996.
to support environmental protection and prevention of pollution in balance with socio-economic needs (ISO 14001)

Environmental Policy
The environmental policy describes the organizations overall approach and intentions. Is the Keystone upon which the entire EMS is constructed. NOT A PUBLIC RELATIONS DOCUMENT

Policy Requirements
To meet ISO 14001 requirements, the policy must:
1.
2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
Policy Statement
Organization must be able to demonstrate that it is fully aware of all relevant environmental issues and their potential impact and importance. No list is appropriate to all organizations; each establishes methods/measures relevant to its operations.
Policy Statement
Provides a framework for setting environmental objectives
Objectives are specific and defined goals that need to be achieved in order to meet the requirements of the Environmental Policy. Every action, requirement, procedure, etc. contained within the EMS must have its roots in the Env. Policy Statement.
Policy Statement
Commitment to continual improvement
Process of enhancing the environmental management system to achieve improvements in overall environmental performance in line with the organization's environmental policy. Ties together the Env. Policy Statement and Management Review elements of ISO 14001.
Requires the EMS be reviewed and evaluated at a set frequency for changed aspects and impacts (yearly is generally acceptable).
Policy Statement
Commitment to P2
After pollution based objectives have been set, P2 must be evaluated at one of the alternative approaches to setting the Target(s). If P2 is not cost-effective, it does not have to be accepted.
Policy Statement
Commitment to Compliance with Laws, Regs, and Requirements
Identify applicable laws & regs Determine compliance Develop action plan to correct noncompliance Establish a system to maintain compliance
Organization does not need to be in full compliance in order to conform with 14001 Continued pattern of noncompliance may need to nonconformance with ISO 14001.
Policy Statement
Documentation and Communication
Executive level manager must sign the Policy Statement and maintained based on Document Control (4.4.5) proceedures. All employees must understand and recognize the commitments and relate their job functions with the Policy. Policy must be communicated with the public.

Consider normal, unique, and emergency conditions Where do opportunities exist for improvement?
prevention
Consider how you will measure progress
Objectives are the Goals that support the Vision contained in the Environmental Policy Statement.
The ISO 14001 Standard stipulates several criteria that must be considered when establishing environmental objectives. Specifically: Environmental policy commitments to continual improvement, prevention of pollution, and compliance with legal and other requirements. Concentration on controlling significant environmental aspects the activities, products, and services with the highest environmental impacts since reducing their significance (i.e., the risks associated with them) automatically lowers their impacts. Taking consideration of technological options and financial, operational, and business requirements means that environmental objectives and targets must be practical in terms of being technologically achievable, within the limits of available budget constraints, and consistent with operational and business strategies. In other words, objectives and targets must be realistic and attainable, not mere dreams or wish lists. The views of interested parties. Any individual, group, agency, or community that may be affected by or have a stake in the operations of the facility implementing the EMS. This can be a long list, including: National, regional/provincial, local government officials Local community representatives Public interest groups and other stakeholders (The views of interested parties are also helpful when an organization makes a decision regarding communication of its environmental aspects).

Summary
An EMS is a formal system for managing the environmental footprint of organizations Most organizations already have several EMS elements in place the system relationship is lacking An EMS must serve the mission of the organization The EMS and related measurement tools are just that- tools. Alone, they will not guarantee success. The organization must use the tools, not just have them. Success comes from being committed to continual improvement for the long term
