Environmental Management
Our ISO 14001 certified Environment Management System and ISO 50001 certified Energy Management System play an important role in ensuring the responsible management of the sites environment and energy impact as well as consistent and regular environmental data. These certifications require the monitoring, active management and continuous improvement of environment and energy impacts.
Our Environment Management System, certified to ISO 14001, includes provisions to ensure compliance with all Ontario Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks regulations through our Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) including noise and vibration, emissions to air, spills and leakage, waste, by-product, and production residue management, water usage and biodiversity. Our site is regularly audited by the Ontario Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks as well as the Government of Canada Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Canada. We also participate in internal compliance audits against various environment procedures, policies and practices.
In addition, for many years ArcelorMittal Dofasco has participated in the Hamilton Air Monitoring Network (HAMN), the Hamilton Industrial Environmental Association and Clean Air Hamilton, which are all local groups that have an interest in the ongoing monitoring and long term improvement of air quality in the area.
