Introduction to
ISO:14001
Environmental
Management Systems

Definition: ISO-14001: Environmental
Management Systems
An administrative framework for
the systematic, structured and
documented approach to the
management of environmental
affairs.

ISO14001 requires that the Environmental Policy
must be...
•
•
•
•
•
Documented
Implemented
Maintained
Communicated
Publicly available
ALL Staff must be aware of the requirements
of the Environmental Policy
6
Tata Motors
Environmental Policy
addresses the
following...
•
•
•
•
Top level commitment
Regulatory compliance
Pollution Prevention
Build awareness of
workforce, customers and
vendors on environmental
issues
• Continual Improvement
•
The Policy has been communicated and
will be available to any interested party
on demand

What is meant by “Planning”?
Planning for ISO-14001 should cover four areas:
(1) Environmental Aspects-Capture the
significant impacts
(2) Legal and Other Requirements-Ensure basic
compliance to all national and local laws
(3) Objectives and Targets- Should be consistent
with the Environmental Policy
(4) Management Programme- Structured plan for
achieving set Objectives
9
Planning should focus on - “Significant
Aspects” and “Legal Issues”
What do we use?
What do we waste?
What could we harm?
What are the risks?
What are the laws?
…and which are
the MOST
IMPORTANT
issues for us?

An environmental ‘Aspect’ and it’s
environmental ‘Impact’
•
•
Aspect- An element of an organizations activities, products or services that
can interact with the environment.
Impact- The effect of the aspect on the environment - harmful or beneficial.
Example:
• Aspect: Spillage of dirty oils
generated from maintenance
activity.
• Impact: Soil pollution or if drained
into drainage line, it will add to the
pollution load on ETP.
11
An environmental ‘Aspect’ and it’s
environmental ‘Impact’
•
•
Aspect- An element of an organizations activities, products or services that
can interact with the environment.
Impact- The effect of the aspect on the environment - harmful or beneficial.
Example:
• Aspect: Shifting of fully grown trees
due to building expansion activity.
• Impact: Tree population is
maintained and all benefits of trees
are sustained.
12
Planning should focus on - “Clear objectives and
targets for improvement”
By the end of this year, we must
achieve these improvements!
13
An example of Environmental “Objective and Target”
Policy Principle No.3
Striving to operate in a manner designed to minimise and where possible eliminate releases to air, land and water during
manufacturing by focussing on safe technologies, company standards and operating practices.
Objectives
1. Minimise process emissions to atmosphere
2. Minimise risk of ground and ground water contamination
3. Control releases to surface water and sewer to prevent pollution
4. Minimise solid and hazardous waste requiring treatment or disposal

Objectives

Targets:
2004-05
They include:
improving
environmental
performance of
products,
resource
conservation, and
pollution
prevention.
A range of “Significant Aspects” at
Plant level are addressed
15
An Environmental “Objective” is targeted with a formal
Environmental Management Programme - or EMP
......and this is how we
are going to do it!

Everyone
understands the
role they have to
play!
ISO:14001 requires...
Defined responsibilities and training to
ensure competence
18
ISO:14001 requires...
Careful Document Control
I don’t need these
old analytical results
any more.
I’m sure he MUST
have
put it here
somewhere!!!
19
ISO:14001 requires... Defined Operational Control
???
What procedures and work
instructions are needed to make
sure that environmental aspects
are managed?
20
ISO:14001 requires... Clear emergency
preparedness and response
What accidents and
emergencies could
occur?
How can we prevent
environmental impacts?

We haven’t done
too badly this year.
How can we improve
our system next year?

ISO-14001: A business case for Cost Saving
Rs.
•
Cost of effluent treatment = Rs. 3.45 per cubic meter
of effluent. (Approximately 3000m3/day is treated per
day) i.e. Rs. 10,350/day or Rs.37.77 lakhs/year)
•
Operational control on leakage and spillage of oils,
coolants in Machine Shops will reduce the pollution
load on Main ETP and corresponding expense on
effluent treatment will be saved.
•
Operational control on separation of sludge, oily
muck and tramp oils from coolant and washing media
in Machine Shops will reduce the pollution load on
Main ETP and corresponding expense on effluent
treatment will be saved.

ISO: 14001 - Benefits of Improved Efficiency
• Environmental issues need to be managed and if not will cost us
money!
• ISO:14001 System is a management tool for the same.
• Once again… ISO:14001 can be summed up as…
• Policy – Company has said what it is going to do for environment
protection
• Planning – what to do and how to do it!
• Implement – set it up so that it can be done!
• Check – make sure its done right!
• Review – change it when needed!
