Definitions
|
- Practice Owner- This is a broad term that
encompasses persons, positions, commands, units, offices, or departments
that are responsible for control of practices. These EMPs use the term
"practice owner" where assignment of more specific
responsibilities is left to the owning organizations. In some places
more specific terms are used including:
- Owning Command- The command aboard the
installation that has ultimate responsibility for a practice.
- Owning Commands Point of
Contact (POC)-
A position or individual designated by the owning command who defends
his/her organizations interests in the EMS and coordinates between his
units and personnel and other stakeholders in the EMS.
- Owning Unit- The lowest organizational
unit that operates a practice. Owning commands designate owning units.
- Practice Owner- The position or individual
within an owning unit who has front line supervisory responsibility for
the units practices. Unit Environmental Coordinators/HazWaste
Coordinators in many activities are also practice owners.
- Practice Operator- Individual who operates a
practice.
- Executing Agent- In some cases, responsibilities
for ownership, supervision and operation of practices do not fall within
a single chain of command, for instance when operations are contracted.
It is the responsibility of the owning command to ensure that
supervisory and operational procedures for practice control are assigned
to its executing agent and enforced.
- EMS Core Team- The EMS Core Team will
provide installation-wide oversight and support to the EMS
implementation effort. Currently, the EMS Core Team consists of
members of Environmental Management Department including division
directors and the Assistant Environmental Management Officer. EMS Core
Team members may designate deputies within their units to work with the
EMS Coordinator and Environmental Management Department staff to gather,
organize, and disseminate information; develop procedures; and advise,
coordinate, facilitate, and monitor EMS
implementation.
- EMS Management Review Team- provides an oversight of
the EMS Core Team, EMS development and EMS
implementation.
