School implements environmental management system
In December 2005, the University of South Carolina (USC) School Of Medicine, William Jennings Bryan Dorn Veterans Administration Medical Center (WJBD VAMC) and the USC School of the Environment signed an agreement to work together to implement an Environmental Management System (EMS) within the School of Medicine using the ISO 14001 EMS International Standard and elements of the Veteran Administration’s (VA) Green Environmental Management Systems (GEMS) Program.
Using the GEMS implementation process, the organizations have been collaborating to create a pilot study on the establishment of a joint EMS management system. The pilot study is being developed to provide additional guidance for other VA Medical Centers and federal organizations that have a medical school located on VA campuses. When completed, the EMS pilot study will demonstrate the advantages of joint EMS development between federal and state organizations in reducing ecological and social impacts of each organization’s activities, products and services, and in addition, provide opportunities to enhance communication and strengthen regulatory compliance management.
The scope of the USC EMS project is the buildings and areas directly associated with the USC School of Medicine on the WJBD VAMC campus. Through the EMS, the School of Medicine will enhance its ability to identify and manage its environmental issues more effectively and efficiently. Completion of the pilot study is targeted for January 2008.
For additional information about the School of Medicine’s environmental management system, please contact Tony Johnson, EMS Manager in the Custodial & Safety Services office at (803) 733-1507.
