TAILIEUCHUNG - Environmental Management System Manual

In 1994, in response to an Administrative Consent Order with the Department of Environmental Protection, MassHighway began a comprehens ive environmental compliance initiative at its maintenance facilities. At the outset, the Department performed a gap analysis to evaluate MassHighway’s management structure and to determine the level of environmental compliance. The gap analysis concluded that a significant financial and personnel investment was needed to correct violations of regulatory requirements and to provide a method to ensure on-going compliance. The need to develop and institutionalize a formal Environmental Management System to support environmental compliance was thus identified. | ằlHIGHWAY EOTCl Environmental Management System Manual Mitt Romney Governor ăễoứ Kerry Healey Lieutenant Governor Daniel A. Grabauskas Secretary of Transportation A COMMITMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT As the Massachusetts state transportation agencies carry out their mission to provide efficient safe clean and cost effective transportation systems and services for the Commonwealth the Executive Office of Transportation and Construction remains committed to being responsible stewards of the environment. Our actions can have a broad and visible impact on the communities we serve. When routine maintenance activities are conducted at our transportation maintenance facilities we incur certain responsibilities to safeguard the environment. Therefore we must remain accountable for our actions and exercise good judgment while employing sound housekeeping practices to avoid and otherwise minimize impacts to the environment. MassHighway is one agency that has taken a leadership role in supporting EOTC s overall environmental commitment by developing a formal Environmental Management System EMS that will ensure continual compliance with all environmental requirements that apply to its facility operations. All MassHighway employees are expected to conduct their job responsibilities in accordance with the EMS and its supporting programs. Although this EMS is specific to MassHighway each agency should use the framework of the EMS as a model to establish formal programs and procedures that promote sustainable practices within their own agency. Understanding the importance of an EMS and following the established procedures will result in increased efficiency better community relations and a safer and cleaner environment. Please join me in promoting and strengthening our environmental ethic by making all EOTC Agencies a part of this commonwealth s environmental solution through effective TDD 617 973-7306 o Telefax 617 523-6454 Telephone 617 973-7000 Table of .
