Environmental Risk Category Standard

by Murray Taylor, from the Community

This environmental risk category standard defines responsibilities, competencies and controls to manage environmental aspects across industrial operations. It covers risk assessment, compliance with legislation and ISO based practices, and design philosophies such as zero waste, zero liquid discharge and energy reduction. The guide details minimum critical controls for air emissions, water and effluent, land impact and pollution, and sets expectations for abatement equipment, gas detection, drainage, effluent treatment and spill containment. It emphasizes continuous monitoring, preventive maintenance, emergency preparedness, contractor management and management of change, with alignment to permits and country specific requirements. Suitable for manufacturing plants and complex facilities seeking consistent, auditable environmental risk control.

Risk Category Standard for Working in Confined Spaces
Use this risk category standard to plan and control safe work in confined spaces. It defines risk roles and competencies, permit to work requirements, positive isolation and lockout tag out, cleaning and purging, ventilation setup, and continuous atmospheric testing with calibrated gas detectors and safe oxygen limits. It outlines full time standby person duties, communication and entry logging, and clear emergency response and rescue planning. Reference related standards for working at heights and high risk machinery, adapt the checklist to your site, and keep records for compliance and audits.
