EMS Management Review – HENP EMS Management Review – HENP � Program Description � Review of Assessments � Stakeholder Concerns � EMS Improvements � Pollution Prevention Initiatives � Environmental Performance � Financial Investments � Questions & Answers � Program Evaluation by Senior Management Brookhaven Science Associates 2 U.S. Department of Energy
EMS & ESR Connections EMS & ESR Connections Identify Activity and Submit ESR DER & ECR Committee EMS Requirements Review Improvements, etc. Safety EMS Aspect Issues Identification Modification or Annual Update Controls New Aspect Existing Evaluate Develop Include in Do Work Impacts Controls EMP & OCF Modify Revise EMP Approve Systems & OCF Experiment Brookhaven Science Associates 3 U.S. Department of Energy
EMS Program Description – Physics EMS Program Description – Physics � Operations • Small scale experiments & Special areas – ESR process • Machine shops – PEP process � Key Elements – Integration • Aspect identification, controls & management plans integrated into ESR process • Communication – Web pages (EMS information & training) – Weekly meetings with Chair & key personnel – Group Safety Coordinators – Department “All Hands” meetings • EMS Assessments – Integrated into Department self-assessment plan – Integrated with Tier I where effective Brookhaven Science Associates 4 U.S. Department of Energy
Significant Aspects Identified Significant Aspects Identified � Industrial Waste – various oils � Haz. Waste – from small scale experiments: solvents, epoxy, Hg, chems. � Rad. Waste – from decayed sealed sources: an anticipated waste stream � Medical Waste – non-medical use of syringes: epoxy & grease application � Atmos. Dischg. – permit for abrasive saw in shop Brookhaven Science Associates 5 U.S. Department of Energy
Review of Assessments Review of Assessments � Compliance – No Issues • Satellite areas listed & inspected Haz Waste is Main Aspect • 90-Day area maintained • Radioactive waste storage maintained • All permits in order � System – April 2000 Audit • Implementation is good • Improved self-assessment to address findings • Expanded E controls to address concerns Brookhaven Science Associates 6 U.S. Department of Energy
Stakeholder Concerns Stakeholder Concerns � Issues and Actions • Activists – none • Community – none – Personnel give lectures – Involved in BNL open days • Regulators – none Brookhaven Science Associates 7 U.S. Department of Energy
EMS Improvements EMS Improvements � Aspect Analysis Integrated into ESR Process � EMS Maintenance � Compliance Assessment via Tier I’s � Pollution Prevention Explicitly Included � Dept. Web Pages & Internal Shared Files • Aspect identification (ESRs) • EM plans & Operational controls • Training, program descriptions & other information Brookhaven Science Associates 8 U.S. Department of Energy
Pollution Prevention Initiatives Pollution Prevention Initiatives � Hazardous Waste • Antifreeze → recycle • Solder scraps → recycle $ Savings $ • Alkaline batteries → trash • Waste ethanol → sink disposal • Reduced satellite areas 40 → 15 � “Free Table” Resource recovery � Radioactive Source Inventory � Annual Chemical Inventory Brookhaven Science Associates 9 U.S. Department of Energy
Environmental Performance Environmental Performance � Physics Waste Generation 700 600 500 400 Hazardous Industrial 300 Radioactive 200 100 0 CY97 CY98 CY99 CY00 Brookhaven Science Associates 10 U.S. Department of Energy
Environmental Performance Environmental Performance � Objectives • EMS implementation complete, milestones met • Compliance with Regs Integrated into ESR & Tier I process • P2/waste reduction � Performance Measures (Goals) • PEP corrective actions (95%) → 100% • Evaluate & disposition APC (25%) → 40% • Prioritize & evaluate P2 opportunity (1) → 2 • Tier I inspections → 97% on time, 33% with ECR Brookhaven Science Associates 11 U.S. Department of Energy
Financial Investments Financial Investments � Time & Effort • Physics → 1,200 ± 10% person-hours • ECR (included above) → 0.3 FTE � Other Resources • Web servers → minimal additional costs � Sustaining EMS • Physics → 0.3 FTE • ECR → 0.3 FTE Brookhaven Science Associates 12 U.S. Department of Energy
EMS Management Review – Physics EMS Management Review – Physics � Questions & Answers • Your particular questions on EMS � Senior Management EMS Program Evaluation • Identify possible improvement actions → assign responsibility to track & implement • Suggestions will be recorded & actions taken. • Five general topics Brookhaven Science Associates 13 U.S. Department of Energy
Senior Management EMS Evaluation Senior Management EMS Evaluation Effective in Achieving Policy � Commitments? � Effective in Achieving Objectives & Performance Measures? � Is EMS Adequate in Terms of: • Identification of significant aspects & impacts? • Resource allocation? • Information systems? Brookhaven Science Associates 14 U.S. Department of Energy
Senior Management EMS Evaluation Senior Management EMS Evaluation Objectives & Performance � Measures Suitable in Terms of: • Impacts & current conditions? • Concerns of stakeholders? • Current & future regulatory requirements? • Internal organizational or process changes? � Recommend Revisions to: • Environmental policy & commitments? • Objectives & performance measures? • Elements of EMS?
