The process also includes checking the system and acting on it. The
model is continuous because an EMS is a process of continual
improvement in which an organization is constantly reviewing and
revising the system.
2. Planning
In order to achieve environmental policy, at least, the organization
should :
• Identify the environmental aspects of its activities and specify
those which have significant impacts on the environment.
Identify legal and other requirements to which the organization
involved.
Establish objectives and targets of its activities having impacts to
environment.
Establish environmental programs for achieving its objectives
and targets.
3. Implementation
5. Management review
Employee involvement
- Getting employee involvement in designing and implementing
the EMS demonstrates the organization’s commitment to the
environment. So to build and achieve an effective EMS mgmt
should communicate the importance of:
• Conviction and commitment towards effective environmental
mgmt for organization’s survival.
• Building environmental mgmt in all aspects of orgznal oprns-
product and process development.
• Addressing environmental problems as opportunities.

ISO Explanation
The ISO 14001,4.5.1- Monitoring and
Measurement, requires that the organization
shall establish and maintain documented
procedures to monitor and measure , on a
regular basis, the key characteristics of its
operations and activities that can have a
significant impact on the environment
This shall include the recording of information
to track performance,relevant operational
controls and conformance with the
organization’s environmental objectives and
targets

Typical Causes of EMS
Problems
Getting Started
The results of monitoring and measurements,audit
findings and other systemic reviews should be
documented and reviewed and must lead to corrective
actions.If the organization already has an ISO 9000 QMS
,a corrective and preventive action process already
exists.The same model may be used for EMS purposes.
For a documented problem . The root cause of the
systematic failure should be determined.The
organization must be committed to implementing
corrective actions as quickly as possible. The corrective
and Preventive action process should specify
responsibilities and schedules.Progress should be
reviewed regularly and any deficiencies followed up
Contd...
The extent of planning and documentation
required for corrective and preventive actions
may vary with the severity of the problem(and
its potential environmental impacts).An
appropriate suggestion is “A simple method
always works better”
It should be ensured that adequate data and
information is collected to determine why a
problem has occurred and what corrective
actions may be necessary.

Hints that should not be Ignored!
Workers on the shop floor are in the best position to
see problems and suggest solutions.
All employees should be informed that it is their
responsibility to identify and perform corrective
actions. This would include reporting nonconformance
of operational and procedural natures.It should also be
well communicated to all employees that everyone is
responsible for solving nonconformance as well.
A suitable system improvement process e.g.., via
suggestion boxes,incentive programmes should be
employed for greater employee participation.
In small companies same employees might have been
engaged in multiple function,including management
review and corrective action processes..A strong link
should exist between the processes for better EMS
effectiveness...

Intro
Management reviews ensure how the

It can be used to demonstrate top

Getting Started
It should involve- those who have the right information
and knowledge and who have the authority to make
decisions.
Schedule and frequency for Management reviews
should be determined, typically once or twice in a year.
It should assess whether different organizational
functions have complied with policy and procedures
using audit reports.
It should be determined if Capital and other resources ,
including information management systems are adequate
to support the EMS requirements of the Organization.
Contd….
It should be determined if the operational
controls,procedures, corrective and preventive actions
and the continuous improvements efforts have resulted
in enhanced environmental performance.changes that
result in process improvements should be documented
Possible improvements in the organizational structure ,
operational procedures , training requirements , work
instructions , pollution prevention , waste management,
energy utilization, process improvements, that may lead
to environmental opportunities and organizational benefits
should be determined

Case Studies
Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited
:
Energy Use Reduction:
• Energy efficient lighting was installed in public areas which are
light 24 hours per day. 60 watt incandescent corridor ceiling lights
were replaced 15 watt compact fluorescent lights: savings equal
$3,622 annually plus 90% reduction in labor costs. 90 watt
incandescent lights in table lamps in the lobby and elevator
landings were replaced with 22 watt compact fluorescent lights:
savings equal $1,540 annually and reduced labor costs. 30 watt
exit sign lights were replaced with 1.8 watt LED exit signs: savings
equal $1,179 annually.
• Install compact fluorescent bulbs in guest room table lamps and
hanging lamps: predicted payback equal 1.81 years.
• Install compact fluorescent bulbs in back areas which are lit 24
hours: savings equal to $59.57 per bulb.
• Remind employees to turn off all energy using devices that are
not being used: no estimate of savings.
Water Use Reduction:
• Installing toilets with 1.5 gallon capacity,
replacing ones with 3.5 gallon capacity will save
$3,276 and 430,000 gallons annually.
• Showerheads of greater efficiency will save
$6,546 and 859,000 gallons annually.
• Guest have been offered the option of reusing
their towels and linens when staying more than
one night. Projected savings are $4,000 annually.
Comments
This case includes savings that are well known and some
that are innovative. Some of the reasons the program has
been successful are:
• Everyone in the hotel participates in the program and can
contribute from within their job responsibilities. Thus, the
power of each individual to contribute in a positive way is
harnessed.
• Small savings are as important as big ones. This
recognizes that small savings add up and creates a culture
that values contributions at all levels of the organization and
of any size. The cumulative effect of many small acts of
environmental impact reduction may not be quantifiable, but
it may be significant.
