HEALTH AND SAFETY

2. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT IN
WORKPLACES
•The environmental impact in workplaces
refers to how various business activities
affect the environment, ranging from
energy consumption to waste generation
and pollution. Some key factors that
contribute to environmental impact in
workplaces

3. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES IN THE
WORKPLACES
• Resource Depletion: Businesses consume
resources like water, energy, and raw materials,
which can lead to depletion if not managed
sustainably.
• Pollution: Work place activities can contribute to
air ,water, and soil pollution through emission
standards waste disposal chemical usage.
• Waste Generation : Offices and industrial facilities
generate significant amounts of waste including
paper ,plastics and electronic equipment ,which can
end up landfills

4. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES IN THE
WORKPLACES
•GREEN HOUSE GAS EMISSIONS -
Transportation to and from work, energy
consumption in buildings, and industrial
processes contribute to greenhouse gas
emissions and climate change
•AIR QUALITY - Poor air quality and
ventilation can negatively affect employee
health and productivity.

6. SOLUTIONS FOR REDUCING
WORKPLACE
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

7. PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE
COMMUTING
Encourage carpooling, public transportation,
cycling, or walking, or allow remote work options.

8. REDUCE PAPER USAGE
Implement paperless systems, use digital
communication, and encourage responsible
printing practices.

9. IMPROVE ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Implement paperless systems, use digital
communication, and encourage responsible
printing practices.

10. RECYCLE AND COMPOST
Implement comprehensive recycling programs
and encourage composting of food waste.

11. CHEMICAL MANAGEMENT
AND WASTE DISPOSAL

12. 1. Chemical Management
Chemical management involves the
proper handling, storage, and use of
chemicals to minimize risks to human
health, the environment, and property.

13. Inventory Management
Keeping track of all chemicals on-site,
including quantities, safety data, and
expiration dates.

14. Risk Assessment
Conducting risk assessments to identify
potential hazards associated with chemical
usage and to implement control measures.

15. Training
Providing employees with training on the
safe handling and use of chemicals,
including proper emergency response
procedures

16. 2. Chemical Waste Disposal
Proper disposal of chemical waste is
essential to prevent contamination of the
environment and harm to human health.
Disposal must comply with local, state, and
federal regulations. Key principles of
chemical waste disposal include:

17. Segregation
Different types of chemical wastes such as
(acids, bases, solvents, biohazardous waste)
should be kept separate to avoid reactions
or unsafe conditions.

18. Proper Containers
Use designated clearly labeled containers
that are appropriate for the chemical waste
being stored. Containers must be
compatible with the chemicals being
disposed of.

19. SUSTAINABILITY AND
GREEN PRACTICES

20. SUSTAINABILITY AND GREEN PRACTICES
•Refers to meeting the needs of the present
without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs, often
called the THREE PILLARS
