What is Environmental Management Plan/Systems(EMP/EMS)?

Environmental Management Plan/Systems is management of an environmental programs in a planned, systematic and documented way. If we want to manage to care about environment then we have to manage such processes in such way that execute correct. So for this we need good structure, resources and planning to develop, implement and maintain  policy for environmental protection. 

There are many organization which teach EMS  as a basic course. In this they integrates processes and train personnel. EMS is an Information Technology solution combined with Chemical and Biological Processes.

History

An Environmental Management System is used for making possible for an organization  or government to reduce the  bad impact of environment which is done by any human, animal or nature. EMS includes the life cycle of products. Considering  five different places then there are five different EMS for each nd every building.

   

First of all, The master document is needed for reviewing all of these systems which are connected to one another .From this document the picture of entire operation become clear. As we know there are different EMS for different buildings but if there are different buildings in same location we can include them in same EMS. 

EMS is reviewed periodically while implementing, so it can be adjusted and improved .So it has cyclic nature like test it and improve it.

1)First process is like identify factors which harms an environment  and what operation exist  and how they affect to nature.

2) Second step is how can be they changed and when the changes are put in to practice.

3) Third process is  to watch out how effective the changes are and they are beneficial or not?

4)Fourth step is if any more changes are required or not?

EMS was still implemented by several companies in informal way ,before it was used in standard formal way. There were many procedures In that and they were separated from each other with regulations despite combined to each other. And  the systems were reviewed time by time. If there is any issue it would be correct by time. 

In 1996, The International Standard Organization set a series of standard that made it possible for organization and government to measure all standards of EMS and if there is any problem it gives improvisation to them. It helped to create universal standard for all over the world so measurement would become easy to all without individual regulations. 

They provide ISO 14000 and ISO 14001 series for this purpose.

->ISO 14000 series guide for proper and perfect implementation .

->ISO 14001 consider 17 basic requirements which are required for voluntary organization’s standard.
