英国环境部门对拉法基英国公司作出警告
该地区环境管理人员Tony Owen说, “我们对拉法基得管理和环境情况作彻底的检查,确定拉法基的环境管理系统是好的,这使我们相信我们得到的数据是合理的,不存在数据弄虚作假的问题。 然而我们主要关心的是次要的粉尘超标问题,拉法基违反了许可,因此我们决定作出正式的警告”。
调查并没有发现对环境或人类健康有明显影响的问题。其它一些问题如没有按照相关标准监测、数据变换缺乏相关的证明文件和向环境部门报告监测数据问题等都没查到相关证据。而且审核还确定拉法基的监控在正常工作。
Tony Owen说“ 如果我们的审核能够查出部分问题,将说明我们的监控是有效的,保护了人类的健康和环境“。
正式的警告表示拉法基这次违规已经记录在案,如果下次再有违规情况发生,英国环境部门将采取正式的行动。这次审核涉及到一系列的工作,估计需要3个月才能完成。

UK Environment Agency announces Lafarge investigation findings
The Environment Agency has given cement firm Lafarge Cement UK a formal warning as a result of a full investigation into the management controls and environmental performance at the Westbury Works in Wiltshire.
Concern was raised after Lafarge’s confirmation that there had been falsification of data relating to cement quality between 2002 and 2004. The Environment Agency immediately started a comprehensive audit to check whether there were any implications to the environmental monitoring data.
Additionally the Agency refused to allow the proposed new fuel trial to start until the investigation was complete and confidence fully restored.
"We have now completed a very thorough audit of the management controls and environmental performance which has confirmed that Lafarge’s environment management system is robust and reassures us that the data we receive is sound," said Tony Owen, area manager for the Environment Agency.
"There are no issues with falsification of data however our main concern was the failure to report one minor exceedence of a cement dust limit. This is a breach of Lafarge’s permit and as such we have decided to issue a formal warning.
"None of the findings revealed by the investigation are of significant concern in relation to any potential or actual impact on the environment or human health."
Other points identified were the failure by a contractor to exactly follow the relevant standards for monitoring and the lack of documented procedures for data conversions and providing monitoring returns for the Environment Agency. However the audit confirmed that the monitoring returns were carried out correctly.
"Given the very detailed nature of the audit we expected to identify a number of issues and we are satisfied that our inspection regime for the site is effective at monitoring the company’s compliance with permit conditions and that human health and the environment are protected," said Tony Owen.
The formal warning means that the offence has been formally recorded and that further breaches of the permit will be viewed seriously and may result in more formal action.
The audit involved a series of meetings and visits plus extensive checking and cross-checking of available paperwork. It took three months to complete.
