Ems aspect impacat
This document discusses environmental aspects and impacts as required by the ISO 14001 standard. It defines an environmental aspect as an element of an organization's activities, products, or services that can interact with the environment. An environmental impact is a change to the environment resulting from these aspects. ISO 14001 requires organizations to identify their environmental aspects and determine which have significant impacts. Examples of various aspects from operations are provided, such as energy consumption, water use, waste generation, and community interactions. Proper identification of aspects and impacts is important for an effective environmental management system.

- 3. Objectives 1. Define anenvironmental impact 2. Give examples of impacts from our operations
- 4. ISO14001 Requirement ISO14001 requires: “theorganization shall establish and maintain a procedure to identify the environmental aspects of its activities, products and services that it can control and over which it can be expected to have an influence, in order to determine those which have or can have significant impacts on the environment”
- 5. ISO14001 Requirement ISO14001 requires: “theorganization shall establish and maintain a procedure to identify the environmental aspects of its activities, products and services that it can control and over which it can be expected to have an influence, in order to determine those which have or can have significant impacts on the environment”
- 6. What is an environmentalaspect? ISO14001 defines an environmental aspect as an: “element of an organization’s activities, products or services that can interact with the environment” Aspects can be - regulated or non-regulated - natural or man-made - positive or negative - controlled or influenced by the organization
- 7. What is an environmentalimpact? An environmental impact is a change to the environment, either adverse or beneficial, wholly or partially resulting from an organization’s activities, products, or services.
- 8. Define “Environment” ISO14001 definesthe environment as: “surroundings in which an organization operates, including air, water, land, natural resources, flora, fauna, humans and their interrelation NOTE: Surroundings in this context extend from within an organization to the global system.”
- 9. Examples of Impacts General depletionof natural resources destruction of habitats Water pH oxygen level toxicity Air air toxicity smog global Warming ozone Depletion
- 10. Examples of Aspects& Impacts ASPECTS IMPACTS 1.Vehicles emit exhaust 2. Water leaks 3. Fueling spills occur 4. Containers not closed 5. Noise from engine run up 6. Lights, computers left ON at night 7. Paper bleached 8. Bicycles don’t emit exhaust 1. Sulfur oxides released 2. Water resource depleted 3. Storm water contaminated 4. Chemical may be spilled 5. Hearing, sleep impaired 6. Increased CO2, coal-fired power plant emissions 7. Dioxins created 8. Air pollution reduced
- 11. Who should determineyour significant aspects and impacts? YOU!!! You know your process You know the environmental consequences You know your business requirements The organization sets its own criteria for significance

- 23. Summary Identification of environmentalaspects and impacts is a key part of an EMS. Aspects and impacts arise from activities, products, and services. An EMS includes procedures for identification and updating of aspects and impacts.
- 24. Ensure Success Define your methodology Selectteam facilitator(s) – Strong team skills – Respected by peers – Knowledgeable Involve multi- functional team Ask managers to identify candidates with specific competencies Consider different teams for different activities At a minimum, validate the aspect/impact identification and significance scoring for our operations Keep information up-to-date
