 1. PURPOSE
To establish a system procedure:
 To identify the environmental aspects & to assess its impacts of all the activities considering all
services on a continual basis to decide their significance.
 To control the significant environmental impact and to keep the information up-to-date.

2. SCOPE
Applicable to all activities and services of Reliable Machinery Rentals.

3. REFERENCE
 EMS 14001:2015 - 6.1.2 Identification of environmental as
 pects
 Records of correspondence with legal and regulatory bodies

4. DEFINITIONS
 Environment
Surroundings in which an organization operates, including air, water, land, natural resources,

 Environment aspect and impact assessment committee (EAIAC) is responsible for identifying
the environmental aspects and its impacts in their respective areas.
 Environment aspect and impact assessment committee consists of s
 elected project engineers from various disciplines, HSE coordinator / Officer, and workmen
representative. This committee will be constituted by MR and the same will be responsible for

6. PROCEDURE

Sr. No Activity Responsibility

6.1. Identify all activities involved in Reliable Machinery Rentals EAIAC
under the various Departments / Functions.
6.2  List down all operations, activities or services and EAIAC
categorize them based on commonalities to avoid
repetition while carrying our AIA.
 Collect information about various environment aspects
and their significant impacts related to activities and
services during normal / abnormal operations &
emergency situations.
 Identify all the environment aspects in the routine and
non-routine activities.
6.3. Evaluate the environmental impacts of all the aspects, in EAIAC
terms of
a. Emissions to air
b. Liquid discharge to land and water bodies
c. Solid waste disposed to landfills
d. Use of raw materials and natural resources
e. Noise and vibration
f. Consumption of non-renewable energy
g. Energy emitted e.g. heat, radiation
h. Changes to the physical attributes of the environment:
Size, shape, color and appearance
6.4. Compile and validate the information during site visit EAIAC
6.5. Consider any environment incidents, potential emergency EAIAC
situations while reviewing the environmental aspects and its
impact.
6.6. The criteria for evaluation of each impact is ---- EAIAC
S – Severity of occurrence
F – Frequency of occurrence
6.7. The environment impact ratings shall be achieved utilizing EAIAC
following values for the above five criteria (i.e. S, F)
6.8. Classify the impact as per rating as below
S-Severity of Occurrence
Impact Score
All the bulk solid waste non hazardous 1
All the bulk solid waste non-hazardous in large 2
quantities / liquid waste non-hazardous
Hazardous solid / non-hazardous in large 3
quantities
All the liquid waste - Hazardous 4

6.9. Impact Rating = S x F EAIAC

6.10. This value will help in identifying the significant aspects. EAIAC
Low 1-10
Medium 11-15
High 16-25
6.11. Control measures shall be identified to reduce the impacts on EAIAC / PM/ PE
the environment for all the activities / processes / services.
