• ISO (International Organization for Standardization)
is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies. ISO is a nongovernmental organization that comprises standards bodies from more than 160 countries, with one standards body representing each member country. INTRODUCTION
The changes in the competitive landscape at quicker
pace and the flow of the business process is the result of globalization. The implementations of quality management system (ISO 9001), environmental management system (ISO 14001) and health and safety management (OHSAS 18001) are some strategies in which companies within different countries around the world used to stay competitive. INTRODUCTION
The needs of installation of more than one of these
standards become urgent and integration of these standards becomes a critical competitive decision of firms. In addition, the management systems implemented and certified share the same philosophy (continuous improvement by the adoption of the PDCA cycle), as well as the same principles and values . What is EMS
• Environmental Management System (EMS) is the
systematic attempt by companies to identify measure, document and reduce their environmental footprint by integrating these functions with the day to day affairs of management and decision making. The presence of EMS may indicate environmental friendliness of a company, the uncertainty of measurement related to indicators and indices may yield an unreliable picture of the environmental performance of the company. EMS
The ISO 14001 standard is the most important
standard within the ISO 14000 series. ISO 14001 specifies the requirements of an environmental management system (EMS) for small to large organizations. An EMS is a systemic approach to handling environmental issues within an organization. The ISO 14001 standard is based on the Plan-Check- Do-Review-Improve cycle Impact to the organization
It maps out a framework that a company or
organization can follow to set up an effective environmental management system. ... Using ISO 14001:2015 can provide assurance to company management and employees as well as external stakeholders that environmental impact is being measured and improved. EMS
the British Standards Institute
defines“The organizational structure, responsibilities, practices, procedures, processes and resources for determining and implementing environmental policy.” What is aspect and impact in EMS
To understand the environmental aspects and
impacts is one of the key success factors of implementing an ISO 14001 EMS. In the language of ISO 14001, “an environmental aspect is an element of an organization's activities, products, or services that has or may have an impact on the environment.” Emerging Trends in Management of environmental issues Mining and quarrying activities have had numerous negative environmental impacts. These include; dust and noise pollution, relocation of communities, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, land and groundwater pollution from red mud disposal, scarification of the landscape and beach erosion. ISO 14000 SERIES
ISO 14000 is a series of environmental
management standards developed and published by the International Organization for Standardization ( ISO ) for organizations. The ISO 14000 standards provide a guideline or framework for organizations that need to systematize and improve their environmental management efforts. Why is ISO 14000 Important
ISO 14001 is an internationally agreed standard that
sets out the requirements for an environmental management system. It helps organizations improve their environmental performance through more efficient use of resources and reduction of waste, gaining a competitive advantage and the trust of stakeholders. Types of Auditing Risk Audit Techniques STATUS OF EMS IN INDIA Over many years the pursuit of economic growth by successive Indian governments has ISO 14000 International organization for standardization (ISO) was formed in 1947 for promoting worldwide standardization to facilitate international commerce. ISO published standards for voluntary acceptance but are generally incorporated into national standards. There are more than hundreds countries members to it and each member country is represented by one standard organization. ISO 14000 is an International Standard (1996) applicable on international scale and help to improve EMS of an organization or system. The transformation of these management practices is not limited to industrialized countries. STATUS OF EMS IN INDIA • Many environmental laws have been enacted since 1964 along with the creation of regulatory agencies to implement these laws. However, the command and control (C & C) approach which represents the traditional form of governance largely adopted in India has failed to reduce industrial pollution. With a spate of industrial accidents in recent years, investor scrutiny is getting increasingly focused on environmental risk liability. Customers are also showing higher levels of loyalty to companies which are environmentally conscious ISSUES AND CONCERnS • Water, land and air contamination • highly polluting industries • poverty has become intertwined with resource degradation • poor soils, depleted aquifers and degraded forests. • communities that are traditionally poor and vulnerable to economic shocks • The health impacts from pollution • health and the quality of life. India is highly vulnerable to climate change due to the combination of 1. High levels of poverty 2. Population density 3. High reliance on natural resources and 4. An environmental already under stress (e.g water resources)the annual temp. in India is projected ton increase 1.1 to 2.3 C. OHSAS
HSAS 18001, Occupational Health and Safety
Assessment Series, (officially BS OHSAS 18001) is a British Standard for occupational health and safety management systems. Compliance with it enables organizations to demonstrate that they have a system in place for occupational health and safety. BENEFITS OF OHSAS
Improving your reputation and increasing your
opportunities to gain new business. Minimizing risks of downtime through accidents. Demonstrating your commitment to meet legal obligations. Possible cost savings from public liability insurance premiums. HOW DO I GET AN OHSAS 18001 CERTIFICATION Raise standards for your staff and customers with a certificate in health and safety best practice. BS OHSAS 18001 is the best benchmark for occupational health and safety management. THANK YOU INTRODUCTION • The ISO 14000 series of environmental management standards are intended to assist organizations manage the environmental effect of their business practices. The ISO 14000 series is similar to the ISO 9000 series published in 1987. The purpose of the ISO 9000 series is to encourage organizations to institute quality assurance management programs. Although ISO 9000 deals with the overall management of an organization and ISO 14000 deals with the management of the environmental effects of an organization, both standards are concerned with processes, and there is talk of combining the two series into one. • Both the ISO 9000 and the ISO 14000 series have critics and proponents. The critics of the standards point out that quality management policies proposed by ISO 9000 do not necessarily result in quality products. Critics also project that the environmental management policies of ISO 14000 will not guarantee that an organization is not damaging the environment. Both series require third-party certification, and the certification business is booming, thanks in part to these two standards. QUESTION
• Questions have risen regarding the fairness of
the certification process. Both series are heavy in their documentation requirements and demand a significant amount of time and personnel. CHAPTER 10 ISO 9000,14000,ND OHSAS ISO 45001- The Standard Replacing OHSAS 18001. With nearly 70 countries involved in its development, ISO 45001 will replace OHSAS 18001, the existing management system standard for Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S). Still in its approval stage, the ISO 45001 should come to force by March 2018.
ISO 14001 is the international standard that specifies
requirements for an effective environmental management system (EMS). It provides a framework that an organization can follow, rather than establishing environmental performance requirements. 10.2 EMS

standards developed and published by the International Organization for Standardization ( ISO ) for organizations. The ISO 14000 standards provide a guideline or framework for organizations that need to systematize and improve their environmental management efforts. The ISO 14000 standards are not designed to aid the enforcement of environmental laws and do not regulate the environmental activities of organizations. Adherence to these standards is voluntary. 10.5: GUIDELINES FOR AUDITING • The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) included environmental auditing in its mission. ...
