ABSTRACT
Ore processing industry in Indonesia applies the international standard of environmental management system
based on ISO 14001:2015. The implementation of clause 6.1.2 requires every organization to identify the environ-
mental aspects of its operations, as an initial step in environmental management. The objective of this research is
to develop a structured approach in identifying the environmental aspects and impacts so that an evaluation on the
risks, opportunities as well as severity of possible environmental impacts can be conducted. The employed meth-
ods involve life-cycle approach and risk assessment method with four-cell risk assessment matrix in environmental
risk determination. The results of this risk assessment can give an overview of environmental aspects and impacts,
so that control priority can be determined in order to reduce the risks.
Keywords: environmental aspects; environmental impacts; environmental management system; ISO 14001:2014;
life-cycle approach; risk assessment.
