Key Questions concerning EHS

Key Questions
What information do I have to collect? What processes I have to set up? Whom do I need to inform or involve? How to design processes? How can I monitor the efficiency of my EHS activity and processes? How can I better manage preventive activity to avoid accidents? EHS Manager

Incidents Have High Hidden Costs and Risks Indirect Costs Exceed Direct 5-10X
Risks $1
Brand damage

Costs
Direct costs of injuries, illnesses

$5-50
Production and quality problems Criminal sanctions

Indirect: Uninsured costs of property damage, process interruptions, etc. Lost wages, lost productivity, retraining, admin, etc.

Whats possible? For a 10,000 employee company with average safety performance: 20% reduction in TRIR = $4M savings

Chipping of the tip does not remove the iceberg.


I need to know more about whats under water.

I need to get everyone involved. I need to get good quality data on what goes on under water. I need to get a picture on the current situation but also on its development. I need to attack the iceberg from below.
