14. IMPACT EVALUATION Identify all activities & processes Identify EMS aspects Quantify if possible Gather data on releases Evaluate significance

15. ASPECT IDENTIFICATION Normal operations Cleaning & maintenance Abnormal events Emergencies, incidents Potential hazards Past, present & planned actions

16. DIRECT OR INDIRECT Waste from production Emissions Leakages Scrap product Transport (own fleet) Packaging Raw material sources Product use & disposal Investments Energy usage Transport (external)

17. DECIDING SIGNIFICANCE Evaluate severity of effects Evaluate quantities Assess frequency Undertake a scoring exercise Record results Communicate results Repeat as necessary

18. MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES Set policies on waste prevention & recycling Establish control systems Establish monitoring systems Set objectives & targets Ensure EMS awareness Monitor performance Review & encourage EMS improvements

19. CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT Monitor objectives & targets Monitor complaints, corrective & preventive actions Improvement programmes Internal EMS audit Management review of EMS

20. EMERGENCY PLANNING Consider fire, flood, power loss, chemical spillage, emissions, storms, earthquake, insurrection transport accidents,explosions Failure to control a significant aspect Plan for mitigation, recovery & clean up

21. PREVENTIVE MEASURES Air emissions monitoring Water discharge monitoring Solid waste monitoring Waste reduction Energy reduction

22. REDUCED LIABILITIES Environmental hazard liabilities can be reduced by action Reduction in quantities & types of hazardous materials reduces risks Emergency preparedness

23. LOCAL ISSUES Groundwater pollution Air emissions Visual impacts Land use or contamination Odour Noise Traffic
