Abstract(s)
A implementação de um SGA pressupõe o desenvolvimento de um conjunto de
atividades ambientais e ferramentas de gestão que ajudam a organização a definir,
implementar, manter e melhorar estratégias proactivas.
Na Câmara Municipal de Alfândega da Fé, existem processos que já estão certificados
pela NP ISO 14001, nomeadamente: “Licenças Administrativas”, “Urbanismo”,
“Ambiente”, “Proteção Civil e Florestas”, “Ação Social, Educação e Desporto”,
“Cultura e Turismo”, “Biblioteca Municipal”, “Apoio ao Empreendorismo”, “Obras
Municipais” e “Água e Saneamento”, na componente Administrativa. Recentemente, já
em 2017, o Município pretendeu alargar o seu âmbito de certificação ambiental dos
serviços operacionais de água e saneamento.
Neste sentido, surgiu a oportunidade e a necessidade de se desenvolver o projeto de
implementação de sistemas de gestão ambiental no setor de águas e saneamento de
forma a certificar os serviços operacionais.
No fim de 2016 e após o levantamento de todas as necessidades associadas aos serviços
operacionais do SAS, criaram-se várias metodologias de trabalho para o levantamento
inicial e para a implementação das dinâmicas em contexto de trabalho. Foram
reformulados documentos já existentes e foram criados novos procedimentos e
instruções de trabalho, nomeadamente as fichas de instruções operacionais com a
componente de qualidade, segurança e ambiente. A partir deste momento, os operários
dos SAS começaram a ter acompanhamento ambiental e adotaram-se boas práticas
aplicáveis ao antes, ao durante e ao pós intervenções no terreno. Com todo este trabalho
desenvolvido, no início de 2017, o município conseguiu a certificação ambiental dos
serviços operacionais.
De futuro, pretende-se continuar o acompanhamento das atividades e serviços dos SAS,
criando novas alternativas para dar resposta à necessidade de uma melhoria contínua do
sistema de gestão ambiental.
In the Municipality of Alfândega da Fé, there are processes that are already certified by NP ISO 14001, namely: “Administrative Licenses”, “Urbanism”, “Environment”, “Civil Protection and Forests”, “Social Action, Education and Sport”, “Culture and Tourism”, “Municipal Library”, “Support to Entreneurship”, “Municipal Works” and “Water and Sanitation”, in the Administrative component. Recently, in 2017, the Municipality set the goal of extending its scope of environmental certification to its water and sanitation services (WSS) and to certify its operational component. As organizations are increasingly becoming concerned with environmental management practices. Under this context, the Municipality aim to demonstrate a stable and solid environmental performance, by minimizing the environmental impacts from their activities/services, establishing environmental policies, goals and targets. In this sense, the project for the implementation of environmental management systems in the water and sanitation sector appeared as an opportunity to strengthen both its environmental and operation performance. The implementation of a SGA means the development of a set of environmental activities and management tools that can help the organization to define, implement, maintain and improve proactive environmental strategies. By the end of 2016 and after surveying all the needs associated with the WSS operational services, several methodologies were developed for the initial survey and for the implementation of the actions in the work context. Existing documents were reformulated and new procedures and instructions have been created, namely the operational instructions sheets with the quality, safety and environment component. From this point on, WSS have to perform environmental monitoring and will implement good practices before, during and after its public works interventions. With the contribution of this project, in early 2017, the municipality achieved the environmental certification of its WSS operational services. In the future, it is the municipality intention to continue to monitor the WSS, looking for new alternatives to meet the need for continuous improvement of the environmental management system.
