Risk Assessment Method for Identification of Environmental Aspects and Impacts at Ore Processing Industry in Indonesia

Abstract

Ore processing industry in Indonesia applies the international standard of environmental management system based on ISO 14001:2015. The implementation of clause 6.1.2 requires every organization to identify the environmental aspects of its operations, as an initial step in environmental management. The objective of this research is to develop a structured approach in identifying the environmental aspects and impacts so that an evaluation on the risks, opportunities as well as severity of possible environmental impacts can be conducted. The employed methods involve life-cycle approach and risk assessment method with four-cell risk assessment matrix in environmental risk determination. The results of this risk assessment can give an overview of environmental aspects and impacts, so that control priority can be determined in order to reduce the risks.

Risk Prioritization of Environmental Aspects and Occupational Health Safety in Textile Industries of Gazipur Industrial Area, Bangladesh

“…Environmental aspects can be attributed to the activity that interferes with the natural environmental condition called the impact that is the resultant of an aspect (Susanto & Mulyono, 2018). There is a significant amount of water, energy and other resources are consumed by the studied industries.…”

Drinking Water Risk Management Plan: A Case Study in the Ore Processing Industry

“…Data for each hazardous event were collected based on each incident that occurred throughout the year. The risk score obtained is based on the results of its likelihood and severity [13,16]. Table 5 provides further details: The results of the high-risk assessment category show two critical control points (CCPs): In the dam and pipe reticulation.…”

“…The purpose of this study was to build a structured drinking-water risk management plan (RMP) for the development of effective drinking water supply systems, especially in areas hosting the ore processing industry. Ore mining occurs in the Mimika Regency region, Papua Province, Indonesia [13], with a working population of more than 2000 people as shown in Figure 1, which is categorized as an average number of drinking water consumers [6]. We used a semi-quantitative matrix approach, a five-cell risk assessment format that applies technical information from the regulations [4,5,14,15], different color background of categories shown of severity of consequences, as illustrated in Table 1.…”

Opportunity and Risk Adaptation in Environmental Management System

“…Opportunity implementation exists in some literature and article related to project management [5]- [9], enterprise management systems [10], and good example implementation in TAMCO [11]. On the contrary, many implementations only see one side of handling risk in quality, occupational health, and environmental management systems [12] [13]. The literature to exploit the opportunity in EMS is limited, and this article tries to discover the main reason why the opportunity is not widely used in EMS from the expert point of view.…”

“…Unfortunately, the use of opportunity is still not widespread. Much recent research focuses on the negative impact of uncertainty, for example, risk management in project management implementation [16] and the ore processing industry [13].…”
