Compared with the original version, the overall framework of the new environmental management system has undergone fundamental changes, adopting a higher-order structure consistent with the new version of the quality management system. In July of this year, the draft version of DIS2, a new occupational health and safety management system that also adopted a high-level structure, and was also approved by the international organization for standardization. It is estimated that in March 2018, the OHSAS18001 occupational health and safety management system will be formally transformed into the new ISO45001 management system. In the future, adopting the high-level structure to form a standard specification in the ISO management system has become the general trend of standard compilation, which is an opportunity but also a challenge for the operation of the new environmental management system of Greatoo.
Clearly requiring the use of life cycle perspectives and emphasizing the integration of environmental management systems into the organization's business processes are the main features of the operation of this new version of the environmental management system. Although the new version of the standard structure closer to the new version of quality management system, but the implementation of the system terms is still essentially different from the quality management system. As we can see, the operating aspects of the new version of the system is relatively simple compared to the quality management system, its main spirit lies in the contents of the terms and conditions involved in the brief operation stage, to adapt to the environment management system developed by enterprises from the actual situation, and reflects the management principles of EMS. Under such circumstances, enterprises are required to fully identify and evaluate their own environmental factors and relevant compliance obligations, and to plan the operation of the system based on the content of identification. Therefore, under the system mode of PDCA, planning is a focus point. As we can see, under the new standard document structure, "environment of the organization" and "planning" jointly constitute the main framework for the operation of the new version of environmental management system.
Therefore, according to the content of the new version of environmental management system, as well as the actual situation of our company's EHS integrated management system (environmental and occupational health and safety management system), we should first carry out structural revisions based on the existing system documents to plan the contents of the new three elements of the system (internal and external environment, stakeholders, risks) and the basic elements of system operation (environmental policy, environmental objectives, environmental factors, compliance obligations ), and then to identify and increase the content in the requirements of the new version, as well as to evaluate and monitor environmental performance. Making the system continue to run under the guidance of the system files, so that the new version of environmental management system can fit in production of our company well, and ensure the effectiveness of the operation and operability of the new version of the system.
With the attitude of being highly responsible to the environment and the society, we should ensure clean production, save energy, reduce external emissions of toxic and harmful substances, as well as improve the technological level to recycle, and strictly abide by laws and regulations for the benefit of the society, which is the philosophy of our company's environmental management. And the operation of the environmental management system is a way to help our company to achieve the concept of environmental management and create environmental benefits. With the work of the new EMS version carried out, the company once again demonstrated that no matter how the system standards change, we always carry out the high standards and high requirements of environmental management philosophy, assume the due responsibility of social responsibility, and constantly create a good brand image of Greatoo.
