S.H.E MS - Overview of concept.

ABSTRACT:

Quality, safety, health and environment are different fields that integrate disciplines from both the physical and natural sciences. They are able to interact beyond most mathematical logic, that is, their actual risk to human and the environment are usually prevailed when it occur either by accidents, and/or catastrophic incidents. We learn to be prepared. Inevitably, despite relentless efforts in magnifying such awareness amongst concerned personnel, these compounded risks seem to persist.

ISO14001 - Environmental Scent in Globalized Sense

The chemistry of how EMS affects organization is pretty much a chemistry. The world is the entire complex compound. Organizations, governments, consumers, trade associations etc., are molecules that constitutes this compound and each molecule is comprised of several elements. So, a business organization is an element which belongs to a group of molecule known as businesses. As an element, it consists of neutron (shareholders and capital), proton (assets: operational equipment, workers, etc), and electron (fund reserves, profit or surplus - money). The environment is where the compound, molecules and elements resides and also where all the interactions and exchanges takes place. Most importantly, the environment contains all the supplies that we need.

E.I.A in Practice - sample conditions of approval

This write-up is related to my earlier post titled ‘The E.M.P (Environmental Management Program)’. Here, a sample of the terms and conditions of an approved EIA is displayed, and, as I mentioned then that this is amongst the basis of establishing an EMP. The checklist consists of all the terms of approval from the authority i.e. the DOE in Malaysia, and in this example, it’s for a new electrical powered intercity public train rail track system. In this project both the project proponent and its main contractor are certified ISO14001. I hope readers who are pursuing civil engineering, environmental engineering, environmental sciences, occupational health and safety, urban and town planning, etc. would treat this example as a connotation of the likely demands in one’s career. Welcome to the multi-disciplinary integrated ‘web’ of environmental management where collective decisions is the ‘operating system’ and more than 10 agencies are appointed ‘browsers’. This example is one of their many endeavors that illustrate the shared-responsibility. My personal opinion on the EIA conditions concludes this article. Bon voyage!

Paper - ISO14031 on EPE (Environmental Performance Evaluation)

I'm obliged to share this paper which was first made public in 2003. In my professional opinion E.P.E is designed to alleviate the torment of compiling documents in view of reporting such as during an Audit and the Management Review. It's like the K.P.I used in conventional management. Without the E.P.E, it is like Sebastian Vettel having to drive his F1 beast without the tachometer or at slower pace a sailor without a compass! Ironically, too few organizations believed in this, even today. Happy reading!

ISO14001 tips - Sample Procedure - Aspects' Impact Identification and Evaluation

Here’s a sample procedure titled Environmental Aspects’ Impact Identification and Evaluation. This sample is displayed with the assumption that readers have fully understood the meaning of Environmental Aspect, Initial Environmental Review and have a vivid idea as how to establish the Environmental Management System vis-a-vis ISO14001. Note: misleading knowledge of environmental aspects has made many whom have to rework their EMS in a state of procrastination, still. I must say that this term is being defined by a team of ingenious TC207 members. Please click 'read more' to view the sample. Cheerio.
