| ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS |
Organisation creates impacts - some positive others negative, on the environment. Many organisations have reduced the direct impacts - such as smoke going into the air. However, the impact is often indirect, meaning it is felt elsewhere: e.g. When you switch on a light it is the Power stations elsewhere that pollute the air.

DIRECT IMPACTS |
DIRECT IMPACTS - HEALTH The most common direct impacts on health are those arising from occupational exposure. In particular, many chemicals cause asthma, bronchitis, or dermatitis and physical hazards such as noise cause deafness. The most common health impact of work is musculo-skeletal-disorders, including back pain. These same chemcials may impact on health outside the organisation. Asbestos kills people from both work and community exposure and the rate of death will increase up to the year 2020. You may deal with hazardous materials as part of your work. The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (CoSHH) Regulations are in force and a list of such materials should be available. Solvents can remove natural oils from your skin. Other chemicals can bring about respiratory complaints. *If required we will add here relevant statistics / information relating to your organisation and its environmental aspects / impacts and performance.
