2. Why are we here?
• Get ready for SGL’s ISO14001
Compliance
• Provide managers/supervisors an
overview of:
 ISO14001 Standard
 Environmental Management System (EMS)
• Define the Manager/Supervisor’s
responsibility for the EMS
implementation and continuous
improvement.

3. Why we need ISO14001?
• Minimize SGL’s Impact on the Environment
• Improve SGL’s Environmental Performance
• Reduce Operational Costs
• Reduce Risk of GPCB / MoEF enforcement
• Customers Requirement

4. Why Do We Need EMS?
For its activities, SGL has to comply with the
following Environmental Regulations :
•The Environmental Protection Act, 1986
•The Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981
•The Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974
•The Water (Cess)Act, 1977

5. Manager/Supervisor’s Responsibility
• Know your Environmental Management
System including the following :
 Environmental Policy
 Significant Aspects
 Procedures/Work Instructions
• Communicate to Employees
• Training
• Keep Records
• Encourage Employee Involvement

6. 6
Everyone Impacts the Environment

7. What is EHS Performance?
Metric Measurement Goal
Injuries/Illness Injuries Decrease
Near Miss Reports Report Increase
Hazardous Waste Metric Tons Decrease
Recycling Metric Tons Increase
Solid Waste to LF Metric Tons Decrease
Electrical Usage Kilowatts Decrease
Effluent (Waste
Water)
Kilo Liters Decrease

8. Management Systems Magic
• 1st – Write down everything you do
• 2nd – Keep track of everything you do
• 3rd – Spend time checking up on your self
• Lastly – sit around and talk about what your doing

20. Activity / Aspect / Impact
An Environmental Aspect refers to an element of our activities, products or
services which can have a beneficial or adverse impact on the environment
(i.e., it is the cause of an impact such as an emission).
A Significant Impact refers to the change which takes place in the
environment as a result of the aspect (i.e., it is the effect of an emission such
as the contamination of water).

21. Significant Environmental Aspect
A significant environmental aspect is an
environmental aspect that has or can have a
significant environmental impact…….

22. Key Question:
What would happen if you “lost control” of
the aspect?
 Under normal operating conditions?
 Under start-up conditions?
 Under emergency conditions?
