Iso 14001

All Partners of WLI,
For answering a question from one of attendants on WLI HSE Meeting L4 – Handil at this morning, 02
March 2014 about what is ISO 14000 and what was differences with ISO 14001, and yes this is also
relevant with an ISO 14001 Audit ( CPA site) preparations to one of barge and what shall to be prepare
etc.
By then we would like to share an information relate about Environmental awareness and ISO
implementation, based on some of references from TI SOP and recognized international standard such
as below :
1. CR HSE 035 Responsible for Safety & Environment on Site (RSES)
2. SOP 05-512 - ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECT AND IMPACT EVALUATION
3. ISO 14000 - Environnemental management (TUV Nord)
ISO 14000 and ISO 14001
ISO 14000 is a family of standards related to environmental management that exists to help
organizations (a) minimize how their operations (processes etc.) negatively affect the environment (i.e.
cause adverse changes to air, water, or land); (b) comply with applicable laws, regulations, and other
environmentally oriented requirements, and (c) continually improve in the above.
ISO 14000 is similar to ISO 9000 quality management in that both pertain to the process of how a
product is produced, rather than to the product itself. As with ISO 9000, certification is performed by
third-party organizations rather than being awarded by ISO directly. The ISO 19011 audit standard
applies when auditing for both 9000 and 14000 compliance at once.
The requirements of ISO 14001 are an integral part of the European Union‘s Eco-Management and Audit
Scheme (EMAS). EMAS‘s structure and material requirements are more demanding, foremost
concerning performance improvement, legal compliance and reporting duties.
ISO 14001:2004
ISO 14001:2004 sets out the criteria for an environmental management system and can be certified to.
It does not state requirements for environmental performance, but maps out a framework that a
company or organization can follow to set up an effective environmental management system. It can be
used by any organization regardless of its activity or sector. Using ISO 14001:2004 can provide assurance
to company management and employees as well as external stakeholders that environmental impact is
being measured and improved.
ISO 14000 is a series of environmental management standards developed and published by the
International Organization for Standardization (ISO ) for organizations. The ISO 14000 standards provide
a guideline or framework for organizations that need to systematize and improve their environmental
management efforts. The ISO 14000 standards are not designed to aid the enforcement of
environmental laws and do not regulate the environmental activities of organizations. Adherence to
these standards is voluntary.
The ISO 14001 standard is the most important standard within the ISO 14000 series. ISO 14001 specifies
the requirements of an environmental management system (EMS) for small to large organizations. An
EMS is a systemic approach to handling environmental issues within an organization. The ISO 14001
standard is based on the Plan-Check-Do-Review-Improve cycle.
Benefits of ISO 14001 :
• Improvements in overall environmental performance and compliance
• Provide a framework for using pollution prevention practices to meet EMS objectives
• Increased efficiency and potential cost savings when managing environmental obligations
• Promote predictability and consistency in managing environmental obligations
• More effective targeting of scarce environmental management resources
• Enhance public posture with outside stakeholders
• Reduced cost of waste management
• Savings in consumption of energy and materials
• Lower distribution costs
• Improved corporate image among regulators, customers and the public
• etc
This standard is applicable to any organization that wishes to:
• implement, maintain and improve an environmental management system
• assure itself of its conformance with its own stated environmental policy (those policy
commitments of course must be made)
• demonstrate conformance
• ensure compliance with environmental laws and regulations

• seek certification of its environmental management system by an external third party
organization
• make a self-determination of conformance
ISO 14001 is not a technical standard and as such does not in any way replace technical requirements
embodied in statutes or regulations. It also does not set prescribed standards of performance for
organizations.
The major requirements of an EMS under ISO 14001 include:
1. A policy statement which includes commitments to prevention of pollution, continual

improvement of the EMS leading to improvements in overall environmental performance, and
compliance with all applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
2. Identification of all aspects of the community organization's activities, products, and services
that could have a significant impact on the environment, including those that are not regulated
3. Setting performance objectives and targets for the management system which link back to the
three commitments established in the community or organization's policy (i.e. prevention of pollution,
continual improvement, and compliance)
4. Implementing the EMS to meet these objectives. This includes activities like training of
employees, establishing work instructions and practices, and establishing the actual metrics by which
the objectives and targets will be measured.
5. Establishing a program to periodically audit the operation of the EMS
6. Checking and taking corrective and preventive actions when deviations from the EMS occur,
including periodically evaluating the organization's compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.
7. Undertaking periodic reviews of the EMS by top management to ensure its continuing
performance and making adjustments to it, as necessary.
For another questions for ISO 14001 External Audit preparations (CPA) , 5 - 6 March 2014 (one of well
testing barge operate on CPA)
What shall already there on the barge (standard requirement) :
1. TI HSE Policy
2. Environment Aspect Impact Identification

3. Environment and Safety documentation
4. Operational control
5. Waste Management Policy and Manual
6. Waste Management record including hazardous waste management
7. Chemical issue and Hazardous substance on barge (MSDS Records) etc
8. Safety procedures and Chemical handling procedures
9. Job description (if there is any question regarding your role and responsibility related to HSE
issue)
10. Remember or Print into bigger sight of 3 core of TI HSE Policy (commitment to comply to the
regulation, prevent pollution and continuous improvement)
11. Housekeeping, Sanitation Program
12. Stickers and Posters relate with Environmental awareness
13. Safety talks/meeting relate with Environmental awareness and ISO 14001 Surveillances
Then responds during audited by auditor’s :
1. Answer only what auditors askà Don’t talk too much to auditors
2. If you don’t know, just say I don’t knowà WLI Supervisors or CPA ENV SupV will answer for us
3. Audit = Open Bookà Prepare a proper support documents as mentioned above
4. Don't nervousà Take deep breath before answer if you feel nervous.
