Clause 4.3.1 Environmental Aspects, Impacts and Significance

water pollution, air pollution, land pollution, Acid rain, Health Impact, increase landfill volume]
ASPECTS: Raw Materials Water Electricity

Mixing Process
IMPACTS: INPUT Depletion of resources

Identify Aspects and Impacts and their Significance Step 1


Select the processes or activities of the organisation Identify the aspects associated with the activities under normal operations Include inputs and outputs of the activities Repeat step 2 for abnormal & emergency situations NB abnormal situations include breakdown Identify the impacts for each aspect Quantify each aspect where possible Evaluate the scale of impact and significance of each aspect. Select significant aspects and impacts

Emphasis should be put on the following key themes:
All QMS processes must be planned, implemented, measured and improved ISO 9001 requirements focus on controlling QMS processes, not product QMS controls must emphasize prevention of nonconformities rather than detection. QMS processes must be customer focused. Process personnel must be aware of and strive to meet internal and external customer requirements. Continually improve the effectiveness of the QMS.

Perception: Fear:

Can a good Environmental/Quality/H&S Manager cut it running an IMS?


Is this a cleaver way to right size the organisation? Sound fantastic Mike but

Too Hard:

Lack of Control:
Nice try Mike but Ive just spent the last 5 years trying to get everyone to follow the Q/E/H&S procedures we need to maintain the focus not dilute it!

Write a policy for the IMS Define the system write a well structured manual to act as your instruction book Make sure you have well developed process understanding Install common system elements

Some Barriers to Integration

Implementing an IMS

Encourages risk management across the business Gives a competitive edge more holistic approach to business management Stakeholder satisfaction systemic approach to risk, governance across the business Common goals across the business You should not integrate to save a few on Certifications costs!

What the Certification Bodies didnt tell you!


Still need to be certified 3 times (i.e. ISO 9001, ISO 14001 & OHSAS 18001) Probably will not make any kind of cost saving Not all auditors are multi skilled (you may get 2-3 auditors) Are all auditors competent to audit your business?

Benefits of an IMS

13

9/27/2012

So in conclusion
PAS 99 Simple framework to use Genuinely drives a risk based approach to management Simplifies systems Can lead to internal savings

But Translate your system Ensure common processes Ensure correct competencies are sustained
