  interrelation)
• Environmental Aspects(Impacts)

  related to control of environmental aspects)
• Continual improvement(process of enhancing the
  EMS to achieve continuous improvement in line
  with the organisations environmental policy)

Environmental Management is part of everyday
Management

• Senior Manager (ultimate responsibility)
  -Develops and delivers philosophy and policy,
  monitors mine performance, agrees to output and
  performance measures

  plans, standards, control systems procedures,
  manage available resources to achieve effective
  implementation, ensure effective communication of
  environmental policy and procedures, provide
  timely feedback on performance, ensure continuous
  improvement
• All Employees - follow set procedures, provide
  feedback to managers, properly trained employees
  will notice a concern first
• Environmental Personnel - provide advice and
  identify potential non-compliances, keep up to
  date on technical and legislative issues, ensure
  appropriate methods and procedures are in place,
  verify monitoring provides objective evidence for
  confirmation

What I can do to ensure successful implementation
of EMS and IS014001 certification this year

• Ensure all personnel in your work area are aware
  (tool box talk within next two weeks) of IPCL
  ISO14001 and their relevance to their work area
• Ensure physical conditions in your work area are
  up to standard(remember certification dates) in
  particular ensure those identified in the
  internal audit are resolved. Watch out for oils
  or chemicals not stored in bunds, bunds or oil
  traps damaged/full, fire extinguishers not
  checked, housekeeping)
• Ensure personnel in your area are familiar with
  and operate to standard procedures
• Ensure personnel in you area are aware of
  Emergency procedures where to find Material
  Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
