Help! I feel like an idiot for asking this, but like I've mentioned before I got thrown into this whole ISO 14001 thing without warning and I'm still trying to make sense of it all. I'm a TS 16949 person, not an environmental person!
Someone just sent me a poster listing our environmental Aspects and Impacts for my approval. The plan is to hang this thing up all over the plant. My concern is that the Impacts don't seem to fit the definition of impacts listed in the standard. For example:
Aspect: Electricity
Impacts:
Generator - Consumes diesel fuel
HVAC - Largest consumer of electricity
Shouldn't the Impacts be something more like "Consumption of natural resources" "Air pollution" and such since the definition of an impact is "any change to the environment"? To me, we have sources of aspects listed as impacts. Am I wrong?
