Operational Controls
Pollution Prevention Control
Pollution can result from adverse environmental impacts
arising from process outputs and other activities.
Operational Controls
Pollution
The introduction of substances or energy into the
environment which will : Be detrimental to human health of comfort
Harm species and ecosystems
Interfere with the food chain
Damage property
Impair amenity
Otherwise interfere with the legitimate uses of the
environment.
Operational Controls
ISO 14001 Pollution Prevention
Use of processes, practices, materials, or products that
avoid, reduce or control pollution, which may include
recycling, treatment, process changes, control
mechanisms, efficient use of resources and material
substitution
Control Hierarchy
Operational Controls
Hierarchy for Waste
Prevention
Change in process design, operation or substance/material/fuel use
so that certain waste outputs are eliminated
Reduction
Streamlined processes, improved maintenance, efficiency of
operations so that the amount of waste is reduced
Re-use
Re-use waste outputs instead of being released or sent for disposal
ie use of re-useable pallets instead of wood.
Operational Controls
Recovery
Reprocess wastes for further use
Recycle materials
Burn combustible wastes for energy recovery
Release or Disposal
Ensure releases and wastes meet legal standards
Pre-treatment may be required.- this can be as simple as
segrgation.
Operational Controls
Unplanned Releases
Prevent
Reduce the risk of occurrence
Respond to an event
Reduce the risk of the pollution reaching a receptor
Prevent escalation
Minimise impact
Respond remediate
Clean-up reinstate
BPEO
Best practicable environmental option
ALARP
As low as reasonably practicable
