Methodology for the implementation of an environmental management system in a mining operation Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú - (PE), Perú Mining operations often generate a range of waste and effluents that must be managed and disposed of safely for company personnel, surrounding communities and the environment. In this sense, a mining company must implement an environmental management system in accordance with Peruvian legislation. This paper shows the methodology to follow to implement an environmental management system that can resolve and prevent potential environmental impacts already generated or about to be generated. For the case study, an underground mining operation was chosen that is one of the world's leading producers of zinc, silver and lead. This methodology includes the following steps: 1) developing the company's environmental commitment and policy, 2) planning the activities to be developed at each stage of the production process, 3) implementing the management system, 4) measuring and evaluating the implemented system, 5) proposing a continuous improvement plan. | |
