ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS - determine significance

Check that any procedures you already have in place are robust enough to ensure that under normal day to day operations, and occassional operations such as during maintenance, no breaches of legislation can occurr. Yoy will need to demonstrate that employees carrying out activities covered by legislation are familiar with the procedures and have had adequate training to ensure their competence.

Your procedure also needs to provide details of how to deal with emergency events such as fire, explosion, spill, power failure. Information on chain of command and what to do should be clear - the emergency procedure should be tested and employees demonstrate competence in completing delegated tasks.
