The document outlines the procedure to conduct an environmental aspect impact and hazard & risk assessment according to ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 standards. It involves identifying all activities, products, services and infrastructure of the organization, analyzing their interactions with the environment and determining their significance, and using this information to establish objectives, targets and management programs.

The purpose is to determine the environment aspects/ Hazards of activities, products, services and infrastructure that can be expected to have an influence in order to determine those, which have or can have significant impacts on the environment /OH & S Performance.

The key steps involve forming an EHS core team, preparing a list of processes and owners, conducting an analysis to identify all relevant aspects and impacts/hazards, evaluating their significance based on defined criteria, updating the information periodically, and communicating significant aspects/hazards.

1.0 PURPOSE:
To determine the environment aspects/ Hazards of activities, products, services and
infrastructure that can be expected to have an influence in order to determine
those, which have or can have significant impacts on the environment /OH & S
Performance.
2.0 SCOPE:
Applicable to activities, products, services and infrastructure of KAP ENGINEERING
3.0 GLOSSARY AND ABBREVIATIONS:
a) Environment : Surroundings in which an organization operates, including air,
water, land, natural resources, flora, fauna, humans and their interrelationships.

b) Environmental aspect: element of an organization’s activities or products or


services that interacts or can interact with the environment.
 An environmental aspect can cause (an) environmental impact(s). A significant
environmental aspect is one that has or can have one or more significant
environmental impact(s).

 Significant environmental aspects are determined by the organization applying


one or more criteria.

c) Environmental impact: Change to the environment, whether adverse or


beneficial, wholly or partially resulting from an organization’s environmental
aspects.

d) Life cycle : Consecutive and interlinked stages of a product (or service)


system, from raw material acquisition or generation from natural resources to final
disposal The life cycle stages include acquisition of raw materials, design,
production, transportation/delivery, use, end-of-life treatment and final disposal.

e) Hazard: Source with a potential to cause injury and ill health.

f) Risk: effect of uncertainty .Risk is often expressed in terms of a combination of


the consequences of an event (including changes in circumstances) and the
associated “likelihood” of occurrence.

g) Occupational health and safety risk- OH&S risk:


Combination of the likelihood of occurrence of a work-related hazardous event(s) or
exposure(s) and the severity of injury and ill health that can be caused by the
event(s) or exposure(s)

h) Occupational health and safety (OH&S) opportunity:


Circumstance or set of circumstances that can lead to improvement of OH&S
performance

department.
4.4 Process Owner /
A comprehensive list of activities, products, services
EHS MR/Core team

influence on the EHS) is prepared for every section by
Section-wise teams
referring Work instruction for Quantitativeevaluation of
environmental aspect/impact and hazards/risk (EHS-D-
110/111) for each applicable process/ sub-process.
4.5 An Environmental Aspect Impact Assessment / Hazards Process Owner /
identification and Risk Assessment is conducted for EHS MR/Core team
each activity, product, service or infrastructure listed members
as in 4.2 to determine the elements of these which
interact with the environment (i.e. the environmental
aspects) and their associated impact on the
environment considering the following:
 Life cycle Perspective (L-12)
 Legal and other requirements (Ref.: EHS-D-
108)
 Emissions to air
 Releases to water
 Releases to land
 Use of raw materials and natural resources
 Use of energy
 Energy emitted
 Waste and by-products
 Physical attributes (e.g. size, shape, color,
appearance)
Details of the environmental aspects and impacts are
recorded on the Environmental aspect/ impact analysis
sheet (Ref.: EHS-D-110).
For Determining applicable Environmental Aspect /
Impacts, Hazards and Risk Work Instruction for
Understanding Environmental Aspect Impacts Hazards
and Risk are referred.

following: Section-wise teams
 Introduction of new activities, products, services
or infrastructure
 Changes to the existing activities, products,

 In the event of emergencies, accidents or
nonconformities
 Changes / addition to legal and other
requirements
 Periodic review (Six Monthly )
4.9 The Significant Environmental Aspects and Significant EHS MR
Hazards are communicated through email, On Job
