Annual Site Environmental Report
A number of training modules and awareness tools have been developed and used to increase general
knowledge and awareness of BJC’s environmental policy and to communicate roles and responsibilities
for all employees. For example, the following training modules contain specific information regarding
BJC’s environmental policy and EMS:
• Consolidated Annual Training (Module #28307)
• EMS Delta Briefing (Module #28848)
• ISMS EMS Leadership Workshop Training (Module #26930)
• PWT3 Park Worker Training (Module #21221)
Additionally, employees and subcontractors involved in a work activity that may have a significant
impact on the environment are provided additional information through review of work packages,
procedures, pre-job briefings, and review of Safety Task Analysis Risk Reduction Talk (STARRT) Cards
which address potential environmental issues and concerns.
In addition to the formal training modules and project-specific work briefings, BJC uses a number of
tools and mechanisms to constantly reinforce awareness and knowledge of BJC’s EMS. Some examples
of these tools include the following:
• “Green Light” on EMS
• BJC Notes
• Employee Information Monitors
• EMS Brochures
• EMS Crossword Puzzle
• EMS Fact Sheets
• Environmental Pagers
• Internal BJC EMS Website
• Internal BJC Home Page Web Content
• Meeting Safety Topics
• Safety Pause Meetings
3.2.8 Communication
BJC has a written communication plan that addresses both internal and external communication of
important company information, including information related to EMS.
BJC has decided to communicate externally regarding environmental aspects on the BJC public
website. The public BJC EMS website includes a summary environmental policy statement and a list of
environmental aspects as well as a link to Integrated Safety Management System Description, BJC-GM-
1400. A number of other documents and reports are also published and made available to the public that
address environmental aspects and clean-up progress (e.g., Annual Site Environmental Report, Annual
Clean-Up Progress Report). BJC participates in a number of public meetings related to environmental
activities at the site (e.g., Site Specific Advisory Board Meetings, Permit Review Public Meetings, and
CERCLA Decision Document Public Meetings). Written communications from external parties are
tracked using the weekly Open Action Report.
3.2.9 Benefits and Successes of EMS Implementation
BJC utilizes EMS objectives and targets, P2 Recognition Program, Environmentally Preferable
Purchasing, work control process and recycle program to meet sustainability and stewardship goals and
requirements. The approach is outlined in BJC’s P2/Waste Minimization (WMin) Program Plan
(BJC/OR-1890/R2).
BJC has initiated energy conservation measures that saved money, energy, and, subsequently,
pollution from power generation or vehicle emissions as follows:
