Preface
This manual contains a detailed description of the Environmental Management
System. It also contains procedures and work instructions, which are also
requirements of the Quality Management System (QMS) and Health and Safety
Management (H&S). Both the QMS and H&S can be found in separate documents
and will not be discussed in detail in this advisory report.
The Quality Management System is a change mechanism, which is targeted at
developing a customer driven organization through integrative working practices.
The underlying purpose of Total Quality Management has much common ground
with the EMS.
Health and Safety Management can be regarded as a set of external controls
dictated to business and which establishes and fulfills specific targets. In the project
of wastewater minimization, the Health and Safety Department helps the team by
carrying out the necessary risk assessment of operations and develops related control
activities. The Health and Safety Manager also has a role as member of the project
team, so the integration between the systems will be fully established.
Effective health, safety (and environmental management) is not common sense
but is based on a common understanding of risks and how to control them brought
about through good management (Successful H&S Management, UK Health and
Safety Executive, 1991).
As explained above, it is very clear that by integrating the management systems
the business' benefits can be multiplied and an organization is able to respond to
changes and anticipate or move beyond any targets before they are externally
imposed.
The following table (Table 1) lists the integration between EMS, Quality
Management System (ISO 9000) and Health and Safety in wastewater minimization.
The table explains the common key elements in the three systems that the company
has.
Integration can magnify the strength of each system while the negative aspects are
minimised or even eliminated. For example, EMS training on of wastewater
minimisation can extend beyond the system's boundaries and provide assistance in
the implementation of technology. This will provide health and safety for the
employees, because they have been trained to operate newly installed technology and
v
they fully understand their role and responsibilities. This will help to prevent
accidents from occurring. This also will support the quality of the product, because
the safe working environment will ensure smooth production process, which in the
end will produce high quality products.
Further suggestions from readers for improvement of the book will be highly
appreciated on rahulkk41279@yahoo.com.

I. INTRODUCTION
The Environmental Assessment of Dairy Inc. showed clearly that the main bottleneck
of the Dairy Inc. is the high volume of wastewater discharged each day. The company
has to pay a large sum of money each year for wastewater discharge to an external
treatment plant.
The goal of the Environmental Programme this year is to tackle this problem by
reducing the discharge of wastewater by installing new technology. Aside from the
obvious advantage of savings in water charges, there are other indirect advantages to
waste water reduction such as reducing the environmental impact of pumping fresh
ground water.
This advisory report consists of an Environmental Manual, Development of
Measures of Wastewater Minimization, a Conclusion and a Bibliography. The
Environmental Manual consists of a preface and three parts, Description of the
Environmental Management System or EMS (Part 1); Procedures (part 2) and Work
instructions (Part 3).
The EMS is a tool, which ensures a systematic approach to Environmental
Management. This tool is important, as it clearly states what the environmental policy
of a company is and how the company goes about fulfilling the requirements of this
policy (that is, by planning, implementation, checking and reviewing). The EMS
ensures that" the right information arrives at the right place at the right time, so that
the right decisions can be made " (Sheldon and Yoxon, 1999).
A Procedure is a formal or standard way of doing things. It is necessary to
standardize processes so that there is just one way of doing things in the company so
that there can be no confusion.
Work instructions give the necessary knowledge to shop floor employees so that
their actions will be in harmony with the environmental policy of company.
Measures are adopted so as to bring the Policy, Objectives and Targets to life.
The advisory report ends with a summary. This document is intended to provide
details of the Environmental Programme, in order to motivate the board to continue to
support future Programmes.

years) and this is subdivided into each year's targets and objectives. After each year
the company reviews it so as to make any changes in their future policy. The Dairy
Inc. changes their policy on the basis of the previous years management review (see
Annex 1). The top management should define and document its environmental policy
within the context of the environmental policy of any procedure cooperate body of
which it is a part and with the endorsement of that body. If there is one, Dairy Inc.
