Having an overview and control of how your company's processes affect the environment is essential, not only for sustainable operations, but also as a statutory task. At RamBase QMS, we are proud to have assisted Eramet Norway in carrying out a comprehensive environmental risk assessment of their facilities in Sauda, Porsgrunn and Kvinesdal.
This work is an important part of Eramet Norway's continuous efforts to minimize environmental impact and update their existing assessments.
The assessments
Environmental risk assessment involves a detailed analysis of several aspects:
- Adverse events: Identification of potential events that may affect the external environment.
- Consequences: Assessment of the effect these events may have on the environment.
- Likelihood: Analysis of the likelihood of these events occurring.
- Measures: Propose measures that can reduce the likelihood or consequences of these events.
These assessments complement the existing environmental aspect assessments in accordance with ISO 14001 and provide a comprehensive overview of the facilities' total environmental impact.
Eramet Norway performs environmental risk assessments on a regular basis and with this assignment wishes to update the status of its previous assessments.
Kiln tapping is an operation performed by Eramet employees and environmental aspect assessments are important.
The importance of environmental assessments
Environmental assessments are essential to ensure that companies operate in a way that minimizes negative impacts on the environment. They provide insight into potential environmental threats and enable preventive measures to be taken. This is not only important for meeting legal requirements and obtaining certifications, but also for meeting increasing expectations from society and customers for sustainable operations. Effective environmental assessments can lead to better resource management, reduced risk of environmental damage and improved reputation.
