    2. Presentation Overview Purpose: Provide an overview of the design and implementation of an ISO 14001 EMS Project at Brookhaven National Laboratory Topics: Background on BNL Success Factors for Implementation Costs Lessons Learned Benefits

    3. Brookhaven National Laboratory Mission: Basic and applied research in a variety of scientific fields: Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science Biology, Medicine and forefront technology Facts: Operated by Brookhaven Sciences Associates (BSA) for DOE 3000 employees; 4,000 visiting scientists annually 5,000 acre site located on eastern Long Island, NY Founded 1947 on former US Army’s Camp Upton BSA: Partnership between Battelle Memorial Institute and SUNY Stony Brook Founded 1947 on former US Army’s Camp Upton BSA: Partnership between Battelle Memorial Institute and SUNY Stony Brook

    4. BNL Facilities, Programs, Operations BNL MACHINES Research Reactor Collider-Accelerators Synchrotron Light Source SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITIES Medical Research Operations Material Science Research Bench-top Experiments Terrestrial Research

    6. The Positron Emission Tomography (PET) facility. Brookhaven is a world leader in brain research, including how drugs, mental illness, nicotine, alcohol and even normal aging affect the brain. A Brookhaven collaboration was the first to discover that a drug used to control epilepsy stops cocaine's addictive effects in animals. In subsequent studies, Brookhaven researchers found that the drug effectively blocked test animals' craving for nicotine, heroin, alcohol and methamphetamine.

    7. EMS managed as an integrated project Formal Project Management Plan Established scope, schedule, cost, technical tasks, project controls and tracking systems Implementation Strategy Phased implementation using Pilot Project Integrate EMS with Management System Initiatives (ISM, QA, IA) Enhance ISO requirements with EPA MOA Criteria Compliance Assurance, Pollution Prevention, and Community Outreach Challenges Meet requirements of contract, MOA, and stakeholders Change culture, Change operations, Change image EMS Implementation at BNL: Success Factors Project Management Approach

    8. EMS Implementation at BNL: Success Factors Phased Implementation

    9. EMS Implementation at BNL: Success Factors Process Evaluation Approach Process mapping technique Visual analysis of process in steps Conducted by field-deployed Env. Professionals with staff assistance ID inputs/outputs Based on Bob Pojasek (associated with Harvard school of public health and has env. consulting firm) systems approach to p2--adaptation of QA process improvement tool. (Arnie Edelman of EM brought him to p2 training session) Machining Operations Large machine shops and small staff shops Photography Operations Photography, X-ray, graphics, and printing operations Metal Cleaning Part washing/degreasing Plating Operations Electronic Assembly Cooling Water Systems Utilities/Site Services Steam Plant, Sewage Treatment, Potable water Site Maintenance Custodial, Woodworking, etc. Vehicle & Equipment Maintenance Autos, Heavy Equipment Mechanical Assembly Operations Glassware Cleaning, autoclaves C&D Operations Processes evaluated & mapped: 130 industrial processes 1800 experiments 450 process maps Based on Bob Pojasek (associated with Harvard school of public health and has env. consulting firm) systems approach to p2--adaptation of QA process improvement tool.

    10. Laboratory Aspects Waste Generation regulated industrial hazardous radioactive mixed medical waste Atmospheric Emissions Radioactive or non-radioactive Liquid Discharges Chemical or radioactive Storage/Use Chemicals or Radioactive Materials Natural Resource Usage Water and power usage EMS Implementation at BNL Significant Environmental Aspects Facility Specific Aspects Historical/Cultural Resources Endangered species/ Sensitive habitats Habitat destruction, wetland disturbance, land clearing (5 or more acres) Environmental Noise Historical Contamination Soil Activation TRU waste Other, e.g.., asbestos research Hazmat Transportation

    11. Total Project Costs: Contributed Resources- Direct Project Costs $3.5 M $2.5 M $1.0 M

    12. EMS Implementation at BNL Lessons Learned Build on Existing Systems and infrastructure (very important!) Work Planning/ISM: Env Aspects, Operational Controls Quality Mgmt: Document Control, Nonconformance Human Resource: Structure & Responsibility Emergency Management: Emerg Preparedness & Prevention Integrated Assessment: Monitoring & Measuring, Audits Integrated Planning: Objectives & Targets, Env Mgmt Programs Training & Qualification: Training, Awareness, Competence Tap invaluable resource: People Systems Thinkers on Team, Pilot process first Team approach -- increases ownership, innovation, and value Senior Managers-- unwavering commitment & support

    13. EMS Implementation at BNL Lessons Learned Use Web-based systems Procedure and documentation delivery Patience…maturation of system takes time Anticipate “Requisite floundering” stage Expect resistance to organizational change Self-Examine, Self-Identify & Self-Correct Test programs & provide feedback Minimize external audit costs by minimizing findings - be prepared Set & prioritize your own improvement agenda Design for Successes Plan early victories Celebrate & recognize efforts Creates momentum

    14. EMS well integrated into work planning processes EMS Implementation at BNL Results
