Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) professionals are responsible for maintaining a high level of both safety and compliance within the organization. Each employee plays a part in meeting this goal, through individual tasks that work toward the end goal of ensuring a successful organization. EHS leaders who work on the front line are responsible for ensuring compliance while maintaining safety.
With that said, each employee has an individual responsibility to do their best to achieve a safe and diligent working environment. For the EHS industry, the ability to be proactive when it comes to managing incidents within the workplace plays a major role in the industry’s safety overall. Since most organizations must maintain compliance with regulatory agencies such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), it is important that there are standard training techniques set in place as a consistent method for employees to follow.
