6.1.2 Environmental Aspects/Hazard Identification and Assessment of Risk and


Opportunities
Tata Steel Limited has implemented Health Safety & Environmental management systems that
meet the requirements of international standard ISO 14001 & ISO 45001. These systems provide
a framework for managing compliance and achieving continuous improvement related to EHS
risk. This EHS risk management framework follows a five-steps process comprising of policies,
processes, tools, reports and the governance structure to help the organization in managing all the
EHS related risks. The framework in terms of Inputs, Process & Outputs is displayed in below Fig:

 Design of work place, processes, machinery/equipment, operating procedures


 Occupational and Process related hazards

 Hazard & Consequence Identification


Hazard identification is carried out with a team of people knowledgeable in the process or activity
under consideration, the hazards associated with the activity or process, the Potential
Consequences and likelihoods with respect to People, Asset, Community, Environment (P,A,C,E).

 Risk Assessment & Evaluation


All the risks, associated with the identified hazards, should be assessed for “Maximum Credible”
scenarios using the EHS Risk Assessment Matrix. This would enable classification of risks and
developing management strategy appropriate for the different category of risks. The EHS Risk
Assessment Matrix is a 5 by 5 matrix that is used for qualitative assessments of risk. (Refer to
Figure 5.) It is based on the concept of applying experience of events or incidents in the past or
existing number and types of available safeguards to provide insight in how these risks can be
managed into the future.

 Risk Mitigation
Risk mitigation refers to actions/recommendations intended to reduce the probability of occurrence
or / and reduce the severity of consequence of the risk scenario. Appropriate safety measures must
be introduced for scenarios where the consequence can lead to fatality. After risk has been
evaluated, additional safeguards are required to reduce a high category risk (Risk -I & Risk -II) to
a tolerable risk level (Risk III & IV).

 Risk Ownership, monitor, review and report


In order to achieve the stated EHS objectives, the company has established three levels of risk
management responsibilities as: Risk Oversight, Risk Infrastructure & Management and Risk
Ownership. While the Risk Infrastructure, managed by Central Process Safety team, helps
designing, implementing & monitoring common EHS risk Management frameworks across the
organization, the Risk Owners, led by business units & functions, help identify, measure, monitor
& report risks as per the defined framework. The modus operandi of the EHS risk management
functioning is a de-centralized model, where in the Departmental Chief / HOD, aggregate the top
departmental risk to be reported to the respective divisional implementation committee (DIC) for
review & also for resource requirement, if any.

Please refer: Procedure for EHS Risk Management EHS/WORKS/612

Tata Steel Limited- Jamshedpur EHS Objectives and Planning starts with ABP, acronym for
Annual Business Plan, covering key divisions, corporate function and profit centers. The ABP acts
as a detailed action document for the first financial years of the LTP (5 Year Long term plan). The
ABP details the key directions of the company in the areas of growth projects, production and sales
volume, profitability, technology, CSR, Safety, Environment, HR/IR, Infrastructure plan and
others.
The ABP cycle (complete process from start to the printing of ABP book) starts in the month of
Dec every year / January beginning with the ABP Kick-Off. The BO&S (Business objectives &
strategies) document is finalized by March end every year, followed by a presentation to the Board
of Directors in March end / April first week. The process flow chart is as follows:

Corporate Strategy & Planning (CS&P) is responsible for formulation of the Corporate ABP of
Tata Steel Limited. CS&P coordinates with planning units (divisions & corporate functions),
arranges dates for apex ABP reviews, provides necessary planning guidelines and facilitates the
development of the plan.
Once the plan is made, the same is implemented by respective divisions, departments and corporate
functions as per the responsibilities assigned. The status of deployment of the plan is reported by
CS&P on monthly frequency in the form of corporate MIS.
The Annual Business Plan, one of the outputs of the Strategy Management System at TSL
(explained in section 3), is a detailed action plan document for realization of the Long Term Plan
(LTP) as well as includes sustenance initiatives for the company.
Every division, department & corporate function also formulates their ABP at respective unit level

The objectives and targets are set so that these are measurable (where practicable), specific,
repeatable, achievable, realistic, time-bound and consistent with the Environmental Policy and
Safety & Occupational Health Policy and ensure the continual improvements in EHS performance.
Based on the objective and targets, HODs set strategies indicating the person responsible, means
and time frame for achieving the O&Ts and are documented.
HODs are authorized to revise the action plan and corresponding, time frame & responsibility
without changing the statement of objectives, targets and final completion dates. Any change in
objectives & targets and completion date desired by the HODs are intimated to EHS DCIC. The
necessary amendments are issued on-line by DCIC for such changes after authorization from
concerned Chiefs or as the case may be.
If a project relates to new developments and new or modified activities, products or services, or
change in operating condition, ABP is amended where relevant.
EHS Hazard Identification-Risk Assessment as per EHS Risk matrix is also done, if required, for
the actions planned in the ABPs.
The respective HODs review monthly in MR meetings. HODs maintain records of reviews &
meetings. MR reviews the ABP wherever adverse in quarterly Environmental Management
Committe Meeting (EMC). Chairman of Apex Environment Committee reviews the objective and
targets and related strategies, which are not meeting the planned performance and time schedule
in the Apex Environment Committee meeting every six month.
