OBJECTIVE
To provide an overview on
environmental management within
the petroleum industry in Malaysia
WHAT IS ENVIRONMENT
ISO 14001 defines environment as
"Surroundings in which an organisation
operates, including air, water, land, natural
resources, flora, fauna, humans and their
interrelations."
OVERVIEW OF PETROLEUM
INDUSTRY IN MALAYSIA




Petroleum industry covers the whole spectrum
(upstream, downstream and transportation)
Upstream activities (seismic, exploration,
development and production)
Petroleum exploration in Malaysia started at the
beginning of the 20th century in Sarawak, where
oil was first discovered in 1909 and first produced
in 1910
Down stream activities (processing and refining
of the crude oil and gas , petrochemical plants,
distribution and marketing)

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
- FRAMEWORK
Level 1
Company HSEMS
ƒ Serves to ensure that HSE risks inherent to company have been
systematically identified, arrangements are in place to control
these risk & to deal with the consequences, and necessary
info, training, auditing & improvement processes are available.
Environmental Manual
Level 2 Company
ƒ
Describes the company EMS in relation to ISO 14001
requirements.
Level 3
Level 4
Regional/Department Environmental Manual
ƒ Specific to the region, contains procedures and reference
documents related to environmental management
Site Installation Work Instruction
ƒ Detail environmental requirements e.g work instructions &
records specific to sites.
