ENVID Workshop
The ENVID specifically looks at the planned impacts of the project on the environment. The workshop examines specific activities, and determines what aspect of the environment could be affected. The ENVID is also concerned with accidental impacts, which are primarily defined in the HAZID.
The purpose of the Environment Identification (ENVID) process is for the early identification of aspects that can potentially impact the environment. Another key element of the process is the identification of proposed measures to prevent, control or mitigate the potential environmental hazards identified. Furthermore, alternative measures and monitoring schemes are provided where necessary.
The major benefit of this process is to provide essential input that may influence the subsequent project design phases. The results are also used to inform the development decision process that is intended to lead to safer and more cost effective design and execution of the operation.
The ENVID process comprises of the following:
Identifying and describing environmental hazards and threats at the earliest practicable stage of a development
- Workshop involving highly experienced multi-discipline team using a structured brainstorming technique, based on a checklist of potential environmental issues, to assess the applicability of potential hazards
- Identification and description process only, not a forum to solve potential problems
Study Approach
The process of conducting the ENVID requires a structured approach that includes:
- Identifying the tasks/ jobs to be undertaken
- Determining the activities to be undertaken during each task/ job
- Select activity (or provide guidewords) to identify the possible source and the threats that could cause the environmental hazard to be realised
- Describing the potential environmental hazard
- Identify existing controls/mitigation measures and monitoring schemes
- Risk ranking of hazards using an impact significance matrix in terms of impact on the environment
- Agree on the responsible person to complete actions identified during the workshop
- Record all information on worksheets
- Report the results of the ENVID process
The ENVID specifically looks at all potential impacts of the project on the environment. The workshop examines specific activities, and determines what aspect of the environment could potentially be affected.
