It is helpful to integrate EHS management with business management at the earliest possible stages of busine
2、ss planning and R8D efforts. This facilitates merging business objectives and EHS objectives. It focuses on the effectiveness and efficiency of the integrated process, as well as on the long-term benefits of improving EHS performance and stewardship. The company defines expectations or requirements
3、that specify what EHS management areas should be addressed. Operating units or facility employees decide how they will achieve these expectations; this does not mean that all employees undertake the same actions on the same schedule to achieve a particular expectation - nor does it mean that all emp
4、loyees work on the same expectations during a particular cycle. To be successful, all employees should share a common understanding of this process. The Model EHS Management System has been defined generally; each individual company may adapt this system as necessary to fit their own corporate visio
5、ns, business strategies and values. A companion document has been prepared, entitled Guidance Document for Model EHS Management System, API Publication 91 OOB, for those companies seeking additional assistance for development and implementation of their EHS management system. 1 1.2 SCOPE .The scope
6、of an EHS management system includes: defining and documenting expectations, objectives, and priorities; assigning, documenting, and communicating responsibilities, accountabilities and authorities; implementing and documenting procedures; assigning adequate resources; providing adequate training; m
7、easuring progress periodically; adjusting objectives and priorities appropriately; reviewing results with management; and communicating with interested parties. Implementation activities include: identifying responsible leaders and owners of expectations, identifying gaps between facility procedures
8、 and expectations, prioritizing objectives, developing plans and targets, allocating resources, developing procedures, implementing plans, measuring results, self-assessing, adjusting EHS Performance and management objectives in light of business objectives and identified gaps, and beginning the nex
9、t cycle see Figure 11. During development of an EHS management system, companies with international operations should ensure that expectations are clear, concise, auditable and applicable to business operations and cultures in any country. 1.3 DEFINITIONS Definitions of key terms are provided below
10、so that the management system can be applied and discussed in a consistent manner throughout organizations and among companies. This also prevents misapplication of terminology or definitions from other contexts, such as IS0 14001 or 14004, which may be different from terminology used in this EHS Ma
11、nagement System. Additional terms are defined in the Glossary of the accompanying EHS Management System Guidance Document. Continual Improvement: Contractor: EHS Management System (EHS MS): EHS MS Assessment or Audit: Element: The process of enhancing the management system to achieve improvements in
12、 overall EHS performance in line with the organizations EHS policy and performance objectives. An individual, partnership, firm or corporation retained by the owner or operator to perform work or provide service, supplies or equipment. A continual improvement process that applies a quality systems (
13、.e., plan, do, assess and adjust) approach to managing environmental health and safety activities. A process to assess the management systems eff ectiveness and quality, based on verification and measurement findings. A key component of a safe, healthy, and environmentally sound operation. (The Mode
14、l EHS Management System has 13 elements.) Expect at ion: A provision or requirement that specifies actions that should be undertaken to meet the 2 STD-API/PETRO PUBL SLOOA-ENGL 3974 0732290 Ob34227 T34 II management systems objectives. There are several expectations for each element of the EHS Manag
15、ement System. Goals: Management System or System: Object ive: Organization: Policy: Practice: Procedure: Process: Program: Quality: Targets: General directions or results sought through application of an organizations strategies, objectives and systems. A series of steps taken to ensure that stated
16、objectives are achieved. A typical system includes consideration of four key characteristics: agreed scope and objectives; documented procedures and responsible and accountable resources for implementation and execution; a verification or measurement process to determine if results are being achieve
17、d; and a feedback mechanism to provide for continual improvement. These key characteristics provide a quality systems approach (.e., plan, do, assess, and adjust). A desired endpoint that helps achieve compliance with the organizations policies, or otherwise improves performance. Generic term used t
18、o describe the entirety of a corporation or a company, division, operating unit, business unit, or other similar component of a corporation. A statement by the organization of its intentions and principles in relation to its overall EHS performance, which provides a framework for action and for sett
19、ing EHS objectives and targets. Methods or means of accomplishing stated tasks. A step or series of steps to be carried out in a logical order in a given situation. A series of actions, changes or functions that bring about an end or result. A plan of action that includes scheduled events or activit
20、ies. Suitability of a system to its intended purpose and its conformance to specifications. Milestones that must be achieved, or actions completed, within a specified time to meet an objective. 3 Figure 1 API MODEL EHS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM *Management Review and include a commitment to prevent pollutio
21、n and to comply with applicable laws and regulations. Management demonstrates commitment through active and visible participation in the EHS Management System process, and by allocating cuff icient resources. The scope, priority, and pace for EHS Management System implementation are determined by op
22、erating management considering the complexity and risks involved in their operations and products. EHS responsibilities, authorities, accountabilities, and competencies are clearly defined, documented, communicated and exercised at all levels. Individual and team contributions to EHS performance are
23、 recognized and considered during the employee and unit performance appraisal process. One way to achieve improved EHS performance is to implement a compensation reward system for both management and employees. A system is in place to encourage employee involvement and participation in the EHS Manag
24、ement System process and to encourage transfer of good EHS procedures, practices, programs, and technologies across the organization. Clear goals, objectives, and targets are established for the EHS Management System; and individual, unit and business performance is evaluated against these goals, ob
25、jectives, and targets. The system includes provisions for translating expectations into procedures and practices. 3.2 RISK ASSESSMENT and new or modified activities, products or services; and newly recognized EHS impacts and concerns. 3.5 PERSONNEL, TRAINING knowledge, and competencies are maintaine
26、d and are carefully considered when personnel changes are made. Procedures are in place for management of personnel safety and occupational health, which includes provisions for prevention and elimination of injuries, both on and off the job, and occupational illnesses. Personal protective equipment
27、 (PPE) requirements are identified and communicated to employees and contractors. Personnel are trained to make certain that PPE requirements are properly implemented and enforced. Procedures are in place to assess, document, and provide feedback on employee performance in meeting compliance require
28、ments, accountability standards, EHS performance improvement goals and EHS management improvement metrics. Employee EHS performance evaluations, as part of annual reviews or other reward systems may prove to be helpful in achieving continual EHS improvement. Evaluation and selection procedures for c
