TWMC Environmental Briefing and Contractor Method Statement
Section 1: Environmental Management System (EMS) Overview
The TECO-Westinghouse Motor Company (TWMC) EMS is designed to meet the requirements of ISO
14001 standard. The following is a description of the TWMC EMS.
o
TWMC will provide the necessary resources to establish, implement, maintain and continually
improve an environmental management system committed to compliance with applicable
environmental laws, regulations, policies, procedures and other adopted requirements.
o
All TWMC executives, directors, managers, supervisors and employees are accountable and
have a personal and corporate responsibility to ensure that this commitment is incorporated into
daily activities and functions.
o
TWMC employees will work to improve our environmental performance by:
-
Communicating our commitment to everyone working for or on behalf of TWMC.
-
Developing and periodically evaluating environmental objectives and targets that prevent
pollution, minimize waste, improve service reliability, and promote energy efficiency and
cost savings.
Contractors and their sub-contractors are required to comply with TWMC environmental policies and
procedures, as well as applicable local, state and federal environmental regulations. Contractor
personnel have significant potential to affect the environmental performance and regulatory compliance
of the facility. As a result, contractors must be aware of relevant environmental legislation, regulations,
and possible non-compliances. Therefore, contractor personnel and the facility must work together to
meet the goals of the EMS.
Subcontractors and suppliers involved in work at the TWMC facility must complete a separate
Contractor Method Statement for the facility's review before beginning work. In addition, the Contractor
Method Statement must be completed, signed, and returned to HSE before contracted work
commences.
