Rev: 06/26/02

SCOPE: This procedure covers the annual and ongoing aspects of the Trinity Forge environmental management system (EMS). The EMS Manual may be accessed at http://www.trinityforge.net/enviromanual.htm

PROCEDURE: 

The Environmental Coordinator is focal point of the company EMS, maintaining a complete file of environmental records, reviewing company progress toward environmental objectives, training employees in environmental matters (see TOP-TRAIN) and soliciting employee suggestions for improvement (see TOP-IDEAS).

Annually, typically in November, the Environmental Coordinator selects an environmental consultant accredited by Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) and works with this consultant to:

bulletReview the records in the Environmental File for the past year.
bulletReview Trinity Forge’s EMS Manual and the procedures supporting it.
bulletDetermine changes needed to Trinity Forge’s EMS to reflect changes in environmental law, changes in ISO 14000 and changes in the company’s manufacturing processes.
bulletEnsure that all government-required testing and reporting is scheduled for proper completion.
bulletSet forth appropriate environmental plans and goals for the coming year.
bulletDevelop the Environmental Management System (EMS) Annual Report which recaps the findings, changes, plans and goals.

The Environmental Coordinator submits indicated changes to the EMS Manual are effected via TOP-TFEMS and to Trinity Operating Procedures (TOPs) via TOP-TOPSM.

The Environmental Coordinator submits and executive summary of the EMS Annual Report for top management review via TOP-MREVU.

The Environmental Coordinator retains a copy of all internal environmental documents (e.g., EMS Annual Report) and external communications related to environment (i.e., government reports or possibly public announcements) in the Environmental File.

The Environmental Coordinator submits the ongoing testing and monitoring tasks required to implement the annual plan to the Maintenance Clerk to include with the company’s preventive maintenance program via TOP-PREVM. As the reminders come up in the P.M. program they are returned to the Environmental Coordinator to complete and retained in the Environmental File.
