The intent
The intent of an ISO 14001 environmental management system (EMS) is to develop a systematic management approach to the environmental concerns of the organization. The expected outcome of this approach is continual improvement in environmental management.
What is EHS
Environment: - Conserving Air, Water, Soil, Plants, Animals, Wildlife, Our
Community (causing no damage)Health: - Physical, Mental & Social well being of a person.
Preserving Human Health both Chronic and Acute (preventing illness)Safety: - Protection from unacceptable level of harm.
Preserving Human and Community Safety/ Well Being (preventing injury)

Policy DevelopmentTop management shall define the organization’s environmental
policy and ensure that it:
is appropriate to the nature, scale and environmental impacts of its activities, products or services;includes a commitment to continual improvement and prevention of pollution;includes a commitment to comply with relevant environmental legislation and regulations, and with other requirements to which the organization subscribes;provides the framework for setting and reviewing environmental objectives and targets; is documented, implemented and maintained and communicated to all employees; is available to the public.”
IPM&SL EHS Policy IL&FS Property Management & Services Ltd. is committed to
promote pollution free environment; and maintain healthy surrounding and safe working conditions by constantly guiding all the services rendered to the Clients within a consciously recognized and adopted set of standards.
We are committed to comply with applicable legislation and other requirements related to identified EHS aspects / hazards.
We shall strive to improve the environmental, health and safety performance continually and emphasize prevention of adverse impacts in all areas of operations by ensuring active involvement of employees, service partners and clients.

Key Points of Policy
1. Promote pollution free environment; 2. Maintain healthy surrounding 3. Safe working conditions 4. Comply with applicable legislation and other requirements5. Improve the Environmental, Health and Safety
performance 6. Prevention of adverse impacts 7. Active involvement of employees, Service Partner’s and
clients.8. Continual improvement
Planning-Aspects/Impacts
The organization shall establish and maintain procedures to identify the environmental aspects of its activities, product, or services that it can control and over which it can be expected to have an influence, in order to determine those which have or can have significant impacts on the environment. The organization shall ensure that the aspects related to these significant impacts are considered in setting its environmental objectives.
ISO 14001 4.3.1 Environmental Aspects
Planning-Aspects/ImpactsEnvironmental aspects are those elements of an organization’s activities, products, services or physical resources which may have potentially beneficial or harmful effects on the environment. These may include discharges and emissions, raw materials and energy use, waste recycling, noise, dust, and visual pollution.
An environmental impact is the change that takes place from the occurrence of any given aspect. The relationship between the two is causal: an impact is the pollution that would result if an environmental aspect were not properly managed or controlled.
Planning-Aspects/Impacts
OHS Hazard Source Situation or act with a potential to cause harm in terms of
injury, ill health or combination of these.
OHS RiskCombination of likelihood and severity of a specified hazardous
event occurring.ILL Health
Identifiable, adverse physical or mental condition arising from and / or made worse by a work activity and/or work related situation.
Planning-Aspects/Impacts
Environmental AspectsEffluent (wash water) generationSolid waste / garbage generationEmpty containers with residual materialsDust generationLeakage of Chemicals / oil / fuelSpillage of chemicals / oil / fuel
OHS HazardsExposure to dustInhalation of vapors of chemicalsContact of chemicals with Skin etcExposure to noiseWorking at heightSlippery floorManual handling of garbage / wastes / chemicals
Planning-Aspects/ImpactsAspects can be identified in four easy steps:
1. Activities are first reviewed in process increments small enough to be examined for impacts, but large enough to get the job done in a reasonable time.
2. All environmental aspects of the procedures or process are identified.
3. All potential and actual environmental impacts from these aspects: positive impacts, negative impacts and potential impacts, are identified and associated with an aspect.
4. The aspects are judged for their significance. A measurement system is developed to separate those aspects which are Significant (and thus will require “Targets and Objectives” and “Operational Control” under the ISO 14001 Standard) and those that are not. Since a Registrar auditor must review the procedures for this step, it is suggested that it be written down and quantified.

Safety- Minor injury e.g. minor cuts and bruises, eye irritation from dust and / or Health Problem- that be recovered on the same day e.g. nuisnace and irritation (headache etc), illness leading to temporary discomfort
3
Hazard likely to arise once in a month
Safety -Lost time injury e.g. burns, lacerations, serious sprains, minor fracture etc and / or Health Problem - Lost time illness without permanent disability e.g. dermatitis, asthma, wotk related upper limb disorders, temporary deafness

Hazard likely to arise once in a week or more frequently
Safety- Amputation, major fractures, multiple injuries, poisoning, permanent disability and / or Health Problem - irrecoverable health problem e.g. Cancer, permanent neurological disorder, silicosis, irrecoverable damages of kidney or other vital organs.
Note : If the product P*S, i.e. Hazard Rating is equal to or more than 6, the Hazard is considered ‘Significant’. However, in case of Fatal risk, the hazard is to be termed as Significant even if the hazard rating is = 4.
EHS Legal Register
The legal register defines the obligations of organization against various Acts and Rules that are applicable to the environmental aspects / OHS hazards of the activities and services that are offered by organization to the clients.
EHS requirement, if any specified by the Clients, document specifying client’s EHS requirement to be maintained at the concerned site.
