Environmental, Health and Safety Risk Management: OpenPages EHS

The EHS Risk Management Challenge

Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) presents a complex arena of legal, regulatory and policy requirements for many organizations including airlines and airport operators, utilities, oil and gas refineries, defense contractors, military branches, universities and manufacturing companies, making a structured framework for managing EHS risk and compliance essential.

Identifying potential hazards and risks is extremely important for organizations that are looking to avoid catastrophic losses, unnecessary expenses and damage to an organization’s reputation. Today's businesses must be proactive in establishing safety management priorities and must ensure that environmental, health and safety concerns are under continual evaluation.

Senior executives and board members are facing increasing pressure to manage EHS risk, while at the same time optimizing the costs of EHS programs. Organizations can no longer rely on expert judgment, best practices, or existing regulatory guidance. Too often these practices contain inherent inefficiencies and more importantly, can impact the organization’s reputation due to unmitigated risk.
