What is an IER ?

Initial Environment review - In order to build a solid environmentalmanagement system it is essential to understand exactly how theactivities, products and services of your organization interact withthe environment.

This process will enable us to understand what aspects of yourorganization have a significant environmental impact.

It will ensure that other aspects of your environmental management

system policy

Objectives

targets

and the management programme are focused on those areaswhere you can gain the most benefits.

What does EMS require ?

EMS requires an environmental review, which should consider some keyareas and recommends items to consider when identifyingenvironmental aspects.

Four distinct requirements are listed within the Environmental Aspectssection ofEMAS:

Identify the direct and indirect environmental aspects of your activities,products and/or services.

Identify the environmental aspects that can be controlled or over whichyou have influence.

Arrive at a list of significant environmental aspects, based upon therelative environmental impact of each environmental aspect.

Develop a procedure to keep this information up-to-date.


4/22

Identifying Significant

Environmental Aspects: Aspects and impacts

'cause and effect' provides a useful simplification.The aspect is thecause of the impact, that is the change to the environment, or the

effect. 1. Select an activity, product or service large enough for

meaningful examination and small enough to be sufficientlyunderstood.

2. Identify direct and indirect environmental aspects of the

activity, product or service, i.e. how does it interact with theenvironment

3. Identify environmental impacts, considering actual andpotential, positive and negative impacts associated with eachaspect.Examples are:

ABC car service center

Currently no EMS

Authorities concerned over the same

Lapses in EMS No specific operating procedures

Lacking commitment at top management

level Financial details a major cause of concern

Experimental process at the oldest centre

Chemicals

Waxing and chrome additives

Welding Gas based

Carbon spill from tyre repairs

Thinners , paints

Lubricating oils


8/22

Dangerous chemicals

Cyanide content in Paints and thinners

Oil sludge Methane emission

Asbestos dust

Aluminium and bauxite contamination


9/22

Water polluting effluents

The deadly combination the above chemicalswith water leads to LEAD pollution

Increase of ammonia content in water

Hardening and brackishness of water PPM ofsuspended particles

Potassium Permanganate formation

Ammonium and other salt formations due toadditives used in paints and thinners

Heating point of water due to oven baking indirect impact


10/22

Gasoline

Air pollution high methane and ethane

content

Carbon particles in air

Fumes of gasoline based chemicals


11/22

Electrical components

Zinc formation due to brittleness of

equipments ( continuous power supply )

Lead acid leakage

Carbon dust due to Xerox machines

Chemical reaction of contaminated air with

components Zinc +Copper Steel chairs particular dust accumulation

16/22

Objectives and targets

Objective :Controlling the effect of pollutantson the workforce and the environment and

reducing all impacts to acceptable level ofless than 10

Targets

Identifying strategies to handle particular

dust in air

Safe disposal of by-products of operations

Implement ISO 14001 pointers in all the three

service centers by the end of this year 2011


17/22

Operational Control Proposal Effectively what needs to be controlled ???

Welding Process efficient exhaust fans to control airpollution

Bauxite ,Chrome andCarbon contamination reduction Advise personnel to clean service floor from time to timeby use of vacuum cleaners

Use of dry dust cleaners rather than water hose pipes

Chemical imbalance proper enclosure


18/22

Operational Control

Procedures Welding process

Protective gear for handling personnel

Proper barricading of welding items

Exhaust facility to prevent bauxite and ammoniapollution

Stndrd. Oprtng. Procedure Cleaning procedure fromtime to time using vacuum cleaners Disposal of the

same to be handled byW

aste disposal team Responsibility UnitManager Resources required 2

personnel from the work area

Record of all such cleaning activities


19/22

Third Party procedures

Updation and Control

What is cleaned ? How often ? New pollutants

identified and machinery to clean the same Tonnage of waste generated per hour

Specific data of where it is created and how

often

Operational response team Includes 2managers Workshop attendant 3 cleaning

department


20/22

Training and Documentation

Briefing session for all employees

Step by step documented procedures for

each participant Sign boards and other mandatory display at

the workshop

Weekly updates from managers Display statistics on waste generated and

pollution containment level reached


21/22

Sample training documentation

It is imperative that we train the trainers first and all ourtraining resources should effectively be from our

employees .Commitment is the most important resourcewithout which there is no use of an EMS
