Managing Risk Effectively in Environmental Health and Safety
Risk management is an integral part of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) operations. Properly mitigating risk and preventing incidents is the best way to keep a high level of safety within your operations. The challenges of EHS Risk Management can be easily overcome by utilizing the proper tools and models.
One of the most common challenges of EHS Risk Management is ineffective collaboration. Some EHS organizations still rely on email chains or spreadsheets to create, collect and share information. Gathering information from many different sources rather than having a centralized place decreases the visibility of the information. When not everyone is informed, it is difficult to work together and collaborate efficiently.
