4. What is ISO 14001?
 It is an Environmental Management System (EMS)
that uses a continual improvement approach in
achieving and demonstrating environmental
performance.
 The goal is for organizations to control the impacts
that their activities, products and services have on
the environment.
 ISO 14000 is the standard, and ISO 14001 is the
document containing the requirements.

5.  The organization must develop an effective system
that meets the requirements of the Standard.
 Document, implement and maintain the system.
 The EMS documents need to be controlled.
 Follow a Plan-Do-Check-Act approach.
 Plan - Establish the objectives and processes needed to
deliver the results (in line with the EMS).
 Do - Implement the needed processes of the EMS.
 Check - Check the processes against the policy,
objectives, targets, regulations, and report on the results.
(Auditing)
 Act - Take actions that will continually improve the EMS.
Requirements of the ISO 14001 Standard

6. Requirements (Plan): Management
 Top Management must be committed to and involved
in the design and implementation of the EMS.
 They will write the Environmental Policy and be
responsible for making sure it is communicated and
implemented.
 Many specific responsibilities are assigned to Top
Management to ensure their input and participation.
 After implementation Management will conduct
management review to ensure continued
effectiveness of the system.

7. Requirements (Plan): Resources
 The EMS must clarify what resources, human
and physical are required to create safe
products and operations.
 During development of the system you will
determine how to ensure competent
personnel, identify training that is required,
and identify the infrastructure and work
environment required.

8. Requirements (Do):
 An assessment of environmental aspects and their
Impacts will have to be performed.
 Regulatory, legal and other requirements will need
to be identified.
 Measuring and monitoring of product and process
characteristics that can have an impact on the
environment will be required.
 Measuring and monitoring equipment will need
to be controlled and calibrated.
 A process will be needed for the Environmental
Safety Team to evaluate compliance to legal
and other requirements.

9. Requirements (Check):
 Establish and document a system for controlling
nonconformities.
 When specified product and process limits are
exceeded potentially unsafe conditions must be
identified, assessed, controlled and disposition
appropriately.
 Identify corrections and corrective actions to
mitigate environmental impacts and to
eliminate the nonconformity and its cause.
 Establish the internal audit process.

10. Continually improve the EMS through the use of:
 Management reviews
 Internal audits
 Corrective actions
 Analysis of data / results
 Update the EMS
Requirements (Act): Improve your EMS

11. Benefits of ISO 14001 Certification
Assurance
ISO 14001 provides confidence in you to meet
environmental commitments and corporate policy
requirements.
Competitiveness
ISO 14001 increases competitiveness in the society. If
you get your business organization with ISO 14001
certification, you can show your business partners or
your competitors that you are concern about the
environment and to protect your environment you
conduct your business which can save your environment.

12. Increasing your profits
ISO 14001 can help you in increasing your profits
through potential process and conservation of energy.
You can earn maximum profit by conserving energy. You
can switch to various other alternatives to preserve
energy. ISO 14001 looks for saving of energy and
materials.
Prevents from uncertainties and risk
ISO 14001 reduces the risk of environment pollution. It
helps you in uncertainties that occur during business
related to environment. It can save your business form
environmental uncertainties. ISO 14001 certification
prevents you from risk.

14. OHSAS 18001
(or Occupational Health and Safety
Assessment System 18001) is a
management system designed with
international standards that helps
institutions controlled their
occupational health and safety threats
for better performance.

15. OHSAS 18001 was developed with the guidance of the
following national standard bureaus and certification
bodies:
National Quality Assurance
National Standards Authority of Ireland
International Certification Services
International Safety Management Organization
British Standards Institution
South African Bureau of Standards
Standards and Industry Research Institute of Standards
Australia
OHSAS 8001

16. Many organizations decide to implement OHSAS 18001
and obtain registration because it assures employees,
customers, shareholders, suppliers, regulators and the
community at large that the company has an
internationally recognized Occupational Health and
Safety Management System (OHSMS) in place.
When an organization conforms to OHSAS 18001, it
ensures that all people directly or indirectly involved with
the company are exposed to a minimum number of risks.
A third party certification ensures that effective steps
have been put in place to avoid accidents and unsafe
situations.
OHSAS 8001 Review

17. 5 levels of hazard controls in OHSAS 18001

18. Elimination
Modify a design to eliminate the hazard; e.g., introduce
mechanical lifting devices to eliminate the manual
handling hazard;
Substitution
Substitute a less hazardous material or reduce the
system energy (e.g., lower the force, amperage,
pressure, temperature, etc.);
Engineering controls
Install ventilation systems, machine guarding,
interlocks, sound enclosures, etc.;

19. Signage, warnings, and/or administrative
controls
Safety signs, hazardous area marking, photo-
luminescent signs, markings for pedestrian walkways,
warning sirens/lights, alarms, safety procedures,
equipment inspections, access controls, safe systems
of working, tagging, and work permits, etc.
Personal protective equipment (PPE)
Safety glasses, hearing protection, face shields, safety
harnesses and lanyards, respirators, and gloves.

20. Reducing the number of personnel injuries by prevention
and control of workplace hazards.
Reducing the risk of major accidents.
Ensuring a well-qualified and suitable workforce by
fulfillment of the increasing expectations of your employees.
Competitive advantage (via demonstration of commitment
to health and safety) .
Reducing the loss of materials caused by accidents and in
production interruptions
Reducing costs due to elimination of hazards
Serving the possibility for an integrated management
system including quality, environment and health and safety
