2. Environmental Standards Implementation

 

Environmental management system (EMS)

EMS deals with the management of an organisation’s environmental programs in a comprehensive, systematic, planned and documented manner. It includes the organisational structure, planning and resources for developing, implementing and maintaining policy for environmental protection.

An Environmental Management System (EMS):

• Serves as a tool to improve environmental performance
• Provides a systematic way of managing an organization’s environmental affairs
• Is the aspect of the organization’s overall management structure that addresses immediate and long-term impacts of its products, services and processes on the environment
• Gives order and consistency for organizations to address environmental concerns through the allocation of resources, assignment of responsibility and ongoing evaluation of practices, procedures and processes
• Focuses on continual improvement of the system

What is the EMS Model?

An EMS follows a Plan-Do-Check-Act Cycle, or PDCA.  The process also includes checking the system and acting on it. The model is continuous because an EMS is a process of continual improvement in which an organization is constantly reviewing and revising the system.

This is a model that can be used by a wide range of organizations — from manufacturing facilities to service industries to government agencies:

OHS Standards Implementation

PLAN – establish the objectives and processes necessary to deliver results in accordance with the Organisation’s H&S Policy

 

DO – implement the process

CHECK – monitor and measure performance against OH&S policy, objectives, legal and other requirements, and report results

ACT – take actions to continually improve OH&S performance

 

 

What are some key elements of an EMS?

• Policy Statement – a statement of the organization’s commitment to the environment
• Identification of Significant Environmental Impacts – environmental attributes of products, activities and services and their effects on the environment
• Development of Objectives and Targets – environmental goals for the organization
• Implementation – plans to meet objectives and targets
• Training – instruction to ensure employees are aware and capable of fulfilling their environmental responsibilities
• Management Review

There are a range of benefits associated with operating an effective Environmental Management Systems (EMS):
