EMS Model Policy Planning Implementation Checking Corrective Action Management Review
2
Environmental Aspects/Impacts Environmental aspect (cause) element of organizations activities, products, or services which can interact with the environment Environmental impact (effect) any change to the environment whether adverse or beneficial, wholly or partially resulting from an organization’s activities, products, or services
3
Aspects and Impacts (4.3.1) An organization evaluates and addresses its own significant aspects, including non-regulated aspects May be positive or negative Examples: Aspect -- Cardboard Recycling Impact -- Conservation of natural resources Aspect -- Particulate filters at paint booth Impact -- Loss of landfill space
4
Aspects and Impacts Consider: Air emissions Solid/hazardous waste Contamination of land Noise, vibration and odor Water effluents Land use, energy use, water use Raw material and resource use Positive environmental issues
5
Sources of information process flow diagram input/output data (mass balance) regulatory reports utility bills waste hauling records purchasing receipts records of external communication existing data (such as from a quality program) –Gross rejected parts, customer returns –Avg. machine costs/hr –Raw material inventory – days on hand
6
Identifying Aspects & Impacts 1)Select an activity, a product or service. 2)Identify as many environmental aspects as possible associated with the selected activity. 3)Identify as many actual and potential, positive and negative, environmental impacts associated with each identified aspect.
7
Exercise How does Bicque Pens interface with the environment ? Review flow chart of the process to understand inputs and outputs Develop table of aspects and impacts for Bicque Pens.
8
Aspects & Impacts Off-spec material Hazardous waste incineration Emissions of VOCs Spills and leaks of inks and solvents Electricity consumption Use of recycled brass Dec. landfill space Degradation of air quality Inc. ground level O3 Soil and groundwater contamination Air pollution, global warming Cons. nat. resources
9
Employee Involvement Formal Identification Environmental Aspects and Impacts. –Konica Environmental Group (KEG) and DPPEA worked together to investigate activities throughout the organization.

Significant Environmental Aspects
12
Ranking (4.3.1) The organization shall establish and maintain procedures to identify its environmental aspects in order to determine those which can have a significant impact on the environment. Rank aspects and impacts in order to assess their significance Company-specific
13
Ranking Exercise Using the ranking system provided: 1. Rank your aspects and impacts. 2. Assess which are significant.

Example Significance Matrix Activity, Product, Service AspectImpactLegal Liability Public Concern FrequencySeverityOS R Significance (OSR>2.5) Dissolve Mineral Ore Water use Resource depletion 13211.75No Natura l Gas Use Resource depletion 11221.50No Natura l Gas Use Air pollution (Nox) 12211.50No Use of Strong Acids Spills to land or water 32332.75Yes OSR – overall significant ranking
16
Significance Scoring From Environmental Concerns such as: regulatory/legal exposure health risk/people resource conservation To Business Concerns such as: effect on the public image/community cost savings cost recovery period equipment/facility
17
Significance Scoring (cont.) Also may consider issues such as: scale of impact duration of impact zone of impact probability of occurrence or likelihood - frequent, likely, possible, rarely, unlikely severity of impact - catastrophic, severe, moderate, minor
18
Summary of A&I Analysis Novozymes 864 aspects 83 #1 ratings 30 rankings 11 significant aspects 14 aspects used for setting objectives and targets.
