  6. An EMS is a systematic approach to ensuring that environmental activities are well managed in any organization. Because an EMS focuses on management practices, it can operate at facilities of widely varying size, complexity, and missions, whether they be offices, laboratories, ships, facilities, programs, or agencies. An EMS can provide managers with a predictable structure for managing, assessing, and continuously improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the management of their environmental activities. An EMS approach builds in periodic review by top management and emphasizes continuous improvement instead of crisis management. - (US EPA) What is an EMS? A program of the Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute in the A. James Clark School of Engineering, and a NIST MEP Affiliate.

  7. What is an EMS? Environmental management systems are “that part of the overall management system which includes organizational structure, planning activities, responsibilities, practices, procedures, processes and resources for developing, implementing, achieving, reviewing and maintaining the environmental policy.“ – (ISO 14001, Environmental Management System Standard) A program of the Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute in the A. James Clark School of Engineering, and a NIST MEP Affiliate.

  8. What is an EMS? An environmental management system is a series of related procedures that are developed by an organization that identify the environmental issues that are affected by their operations, establish a plan to address these issues, monitor their effectiveness, and periodically review their status with top management. – (PMG, 2005) A program of the Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute in the A. James Clark School of Engineering, and a NIST MEP Affiliate.

  9. The ISO 14000 Standard • The EMS standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in Geneva Switzerland • Initially issued as an International standard in 1996 • Second edition issued in 2004 • Requires an organization to define an environmental policy and establish 16 management procedures that support the policy. • A formalized process that requires third party audits on a periodic and continuing basis A program of the Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute in the A. James Clark School of Engineering, and a NIST MEP Affiliate.

  10. Core Elements of an EMS A program of the Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute in the A. James Clark School of Engineering, and a NIST MEP Affiliate.

  11. ISO 14001 - Structure

  12. Section 4 – EMS Requirements

  13. Element – Policy Top management commits to environmental improvement and establishes an environmental policy that: • Commits to continual improvement & pollution prevention • Commits to comply with legal and other requirements related to environmental aspects • Establishes a framework for setting and reviewing environmental objectives and targets • Is available to the public A program of the Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute in the A. James Clark School of Engineering, and a NIST MEP Affiliate.

  14. Element – Planning Conduct a review of operations to: • Identify legal requirements • Identify environmental aspects & impacts • Establish objectives and set targets • Devise a plan to meet those targets A program of the Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute in the A. James Clark School of Engineering, and a NIST MEP Affiliate.

  15. Element – Implementation • Establish responsibilities • Develop operating and control procedures • Provide training A program of the Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute in the A. James Clark School of Engineering, and a NIST MEP Affiliate.

  16. Element – Evaluation • Monitor operations to determine if targets are being met • Take corrective action if needed A program of the Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute in the A. James Clark School of Engineering, and a NIST MEP Affiliate.

  17. Element - Review • Annual/periodic review of progress with top management • Modify the EMS to optimize its effectiveness per top management direction • This creates the continuous improvement loop A program of the Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute in the A. James Clark School of Engineering, and a NIST MEP Affiliate.

  18. Why Implement an EMS? • Customer requirement • Corporate requirement • Federal mandate • State mandate • Avoid citations and fines • Improve your image • Possibly save money A program of the Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute in the A.

  40. www.mtes.org Case Study – P2 Program Company: Garrett Container Systems • Manufacturer of custom designed aluminum containers for military and commercial applications. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ A program of the Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute in the A. James Clark School of Engineering, and a NIST MEP Affiliate.

  41. www.mtes.org Case Study – P2 Program Sample of recommendations: • The current paint filters are disposable. The dried filters are sent to the landfill for disposal. The company should investigate the feasibility of using reusable paint filters. • The waste paint and solvent used for cleaning is stored in a 55 gallon drum and shipped to an incinerator as a waste fuel – good P2 practice. But the lacquer thinner to clean the paint spray guns could be recycled using a solvent distillation unit, and re-used. • Many drill bits of various sizes are used throughout the operation, and are discarded when dull. Re-sharpening them in house should be considered. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ A program of the Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute in the A.
