Unit 2: History and Evolution of Environment,

Health, and Safety – An Overview


History and evolution of environment, health, and safety – an overview


▪ Learn the scope of the EHS profession and how it

evolved into its current form and focus

▪ Understand the laws and regulations that govern

how companies operate to reduce environmental

impact and ensure a safe workplace

▪ Notice how key events increased public awareness

and compelled both industry and governments to act



Introduction

▪ The focus on safety and environmental protection is

a relatively new development in the history of

commerce and public discourse.

▪ Environmental degradation and unsafe working

conditions were considered to be an accepted cost

of doing business.

▪ EHS regulations have become more refined and in

most cases, more strict over time.

▪ Central driver for both the digital transformation and

the “green” transformation happening in the world

due to renewed focus on sustainability

The financial value proposition of the EHS function

In the US, companies spend about $171 billion per year on direct and indirect costs related to workplace

injuries. Studies show that deploying EHS systems that drive preventative actions are proven to reduce these

costs.

The National Safety Council estimates that the average cost of a medically-consulted injury approaches

$42,000 when all direct and indirect costs are included.

13 days of work are lost on average for each workplace injury.

In 2017, companies in the US were made to pay $2.98 billion in environmental non-compliance fines and

violations.

EHS practices and associated CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) practices help to preserve brand and

reputation.

Summary

EHS has evolved from a basic

cost-centric function of ensuring

regulatory compliance to one

that drives business continuity,

brand preservation, and

possibly competitive advantage.

The modern topic of

environment, health, and safety

was born out of industrial

disasters and growing public

awareness of risks to the natural

environment and human health.

The current situation is one

where a matrix of partially-

harmonized regulations at

global, regional, and local levels

govern the EHS function. New

challenges like climate change

and digital transformation are

starting to show influence.

Thank you.

Unit 3: Environment, Health, and Safety Challenges

– Compliance and Beyond


Environment, health, and safety challenges – compliance and beyond


Learn about the challenges an enterprise faces when it

is eager to positively influence environment, health,

and safety. Speaking of:

▪ Organizational EHS challenges

▪ Challenges for an EHS process

▪ Specific challenges for the EHS department


Corporate

EHS Management

OperationsIndividual employees are

not engaged in integrated

programs – no feedback on

information submitted to

management

Site-level management and

leadership are drowning in data

and have too many tools – they

are frustrated!

Lack of transparency into daily operations

– Accountable but not aware/informed


Primary obstacle – disconnected stakeholders



Organizational EHS challenges

▪ Disconnected stakeholders

▪ Lack of safety culture and lack of safety leadership

▪ Evolving workforce



Challenges for an EHS process

▪ Challenge to standardized processes across different

regions or plants

▪ Challenge to operationalize EHS – make it part of the

core processes within a company

▪ EHS processes are perceived as too complicated



Specific challenges for the EHS department

▪ Keeping up with regulatory changes

▪ Keeping up with new technology – digital transformation

▪ EHS departments often face limited budgets

▪ Pressure to contribute and add value

▪ Allow EHS staff to focus on the situation rather than the transaction

How?

▪ Always up-to-date and one step ahead – answer questions before they are asked and prevent issues

▪ Take full advantage of the context and truth from an integrated ERP platform

▪ Leverage the latest technologies for user experience, analytics, ubiquitous computing, loT, and machine

learning

What?

▪ Live, dynamic solution that enables seamless, proactive interaction between all organizational levels and

stakeholders within the enterprise (from shop floor to top floor)
