Presentation
Abstract:
This presentation will provide an
overview of new and emerging health, safety and
environmental standards such as:
·
Recycling
Industry Operating System (RIOS) This is an integrated quality/environmental/health & safety
management system standard for the scrap and recycling industry. The standard is based on ISO 9001, ISO 14001
and OHSAS 18001. The standard is fairly recent (2006) and is being used to certify scrap and
recycling facilities who are members of ISRI.
·
Electronic
Waste Standards
·
Responsible
Recycling (R2) Practices This
standard provides requirements for disposal of electronic equipment, including computers
and peripheral equipment, cell phones, pagers, PDAs, copiers, fax machines,
printers, and other electronic equipment.
This standard was released October 2008 and is
used to certify facilities disposing and recycling electronic waste.
·
e-Steward This standard was released in July 2009. Similar to R2, this standard was developed to address the United Nations Basal Convention
requirements for responsibly disposing electronic waste, and is being used to
certify facilities that handle electronic waste.
·
Greenhouse
Gas Although this is a
politically charged topic, a number of developments are underway including
regulation for reporting, regional greenhouse gas programs, reporting
protocols, and ISO standards development.
·
Environmental
Footprint Standards
There is a growing concern about environmental information for products. ISO is in the process of developing standards
for determining the carbon footprint and water footprint for products and
facilities. These standards are in the
early stages of development but are on a fast track.
·
This
presentation will also briefly discuss planned changes to the following
standards:
·
ISO
19011 ISO 19011 is being revised to expand its application to all types of
management system audits and auditing.
·
ISO
9001 and ISO 14001
Future plans for revision.
