16、tem, was developed as a voluntary tool or template to assist companies interested in developing an EHS management system or enhancing an existing system. The model, which applies a quality systems approach to managing EHS activities, focuses on people and procedures by pulling together company EHS p

28、of Guidance Document for Model EHS Management System The purpose of this guidance document is to assist employees who are developing, implementing and working with environmental, health and safety management systems. The guidance document is intended to: serve as self-study source material, which ca

29、n be used for other related training; 0 enhance efficiency of interchange (between individuals, operating organizations, and companies) through the use of common definitions and terminology; and 0 provide continuity of an EHS management system over time. Objectives The objectives of this document ar

30、e to provide information that will enable you to: 0 more easily implement an EHS management system at a company or facility; 0 understand the basic purpose and scope of EHS management systems (EHS MS); 0 be familiar with the definition of a management system; 0 clarify the relationship between opera

31、ting and other systems and an EHS management cyst em ; 0 understand and describe the characteristics of an effective management system; and understand and describe how to evaluate an EHS management system and its elements. Target Audience This guidance document may be used by any operating organizat

32、ions involved in the development, implementation, or assessment of EHS management systems. Persons who carry out their work within the framework of operational management systems may also benefit from this information. Prerequisite Knowledge Those who use this guidance document should be familiar wi

33、th the Model EHS Management System, Publication 91 OOA, and existing company EHS policies, procedures, programs, and operating and management systems. Figure 1 summarizes the overall scope of the Model EHS Management System. How to Use This Document You should go through the document at your own pac

34、e. Sections 1,2 and 3 can be completed in about 15 to 30 minutes. Section 4, Glossary, and Section 5, Appendixes, provide additional reference materials that some companies may find useful. V Figure 1 API MODEL EHS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM *Management Review (2) documented procedures, and responsible and a

35、ccountable resources; (3) measurement and verification; and (4) feedback or review mechanisms leading to continuai improvement of the management system. The Model EHS Management System (EHS MS) is a tool or template to help members, industry sectors, and others develop or enhance an EHS MS. It is no

36、t expected that this particular system necessarily be used. Companies may choose to organize their management systems differently depending upon other existing systems and/or procedures that are to be incorporated into their own management systems, or emphasis that company management may want placed

37、 on certain system elements. The Model EHS MS is intended to be flexible and adaptable by scaling up or down to fit the size and complexity of a companys or facilitys operations. 2 STD.API/PETRO PUBL 7100B-ENGL 1778 0732270 0614250 377 II Management system documentation is important. The reasons for

38、 documenting a system are: 0 0 0 It describes the function and form of the system and gives it substance; It has longevity and will continue to survive personnel changes (Le., transfer, retire, etc.); and People associated with the system have a common understanding of the system. 1.2.1 Scope and Ob

39、jectives PLAN Characteristic components of the scope and objectives portion of the EHS management system are: 0 A clearly defined purpose with specific objectives for the system; 0 System scope, including boundaries, explaining what the system does and does not cover; 0 Operating requirements that t

40、he system is designed to satisfy; and 0 Expected results or outcomes of the system. In the Model EHS management system, the “PLAN” portion of the system includes the following four elements (expectations for each element are included in the appropriate box): 1. Management Leadership, Responsibilitie

41、s and, individuals involved with the system need to understand their roles and responsibilities in ensuring effective application of the management system throughout a companys operations. The amount of documentation that is necessary depends on the systems complexity. The “DO” portion of the Model

42、EHS management system includes the following five elements (expectations for each element are included in the appropriate box): 5. Personnel, Training 0 Define specific roles and necessary skill requirements for key personnel involved with the management system; 0 Assign approval authority to allow

43、personnel to carry out the duties of their assigned roles; 0 Identify experience levels and/or training (both initial and refresher) that qualify a person to carry out the responsibilities assigned under the management system; and 0 Allocate resources sufficient for personnel to carry out their resp

44、onsibilities. 1.2.3 Measurement and Verification ASSESS The third or “ASSESS portion of the Model EHS management system includes the following three elements (expectations for each element are included in the appropriate box): 10. EHS Performance Monitoring improved interested party communications;

45、etc.). After quantifying the changes and trends in performance, an organization can identify economic and social benefits, both internal and external, resulting from 6 these activities. It is the monitoring of EHS performance that gives the organization the capability, “the facts, to demonstrate the

46、 quality and degree of improvement of its performance, and consequently, the quality of its environmental stewardship. The objectives of measurement and verification are to ensure: (1) that processes exist to measure performance against objectives and expected results, and (2) that proper functionin

47、g of the system is verified. Processes need to be set up to measure system performance against the objectives and expected results. Measurement is a means to check system performance against requirements or expectations. Specific system outputs need to be measured to ensure that the system is functi

48、oning and meeting its objectives. Auditing the EHS Management System involves monitoring and assessing system effectiveness and efficiency parameters. The purpose of system verification is to confirm that the system is continuously functioning and meeting its objectives. Verification is usually done

49、 through some form of review of the system or system outputs. Verification includes both management review of the system and field verification to ensure the system is working as designed in an operation. 1.2.4 Feedback Mechanism ADJUST The final or “ADJUST” portion of the Model EHS management system includes one element (expectations of this element are included in the box below): 13. Management Review raise awareness; deal with concerns about company/facility activities, products or services; and provide information about the EHS management system and performance. R
