Our Important Work
Organizations based in the United States are subject to EHS regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations, particularly 29 CFR 1910 and 1926 for General Industry and Construction Standards. Still, EHS Management is not limited to legal compliance, and companies should be encouraged to do more than is required by law, if appropriate to avoid problems in the future.
The EHS Guidelines are technical reference documents with general and industry-specific examples of Good International Industry Practice (GIIP) and are referred to in the World Bank’s Environmental and Social Framework and in IFC’s Performance Standards.
Compliance and implementation of EHS often involves State, Federal and International oversight depending on the company and the scope of their operations.

What is EHS and why do we need it?
Environmental Health and Safety or Environment (E), Health (H) and Safety (S), EHS is an acronym for the methodology that studies and implements the practical aspects of protecting the environment and maintaining health and safety at occupation. In simple terms it is what organizations must do to make sure that their activities do not cause harm to anyone. Commonly, quality - quality assurance & quality control - is adjoined to form the company division known as HSQE.
From a safety standpoint, it involves creating organized efforts and procedures for identifying workplace hazards and reducing accidents and exposure to harmful situations and substances. It also includes training of personnel in accident prevention, accident response, emergency preparedness, and use of protective clothing and equipment.
Better health at its heart, should have the development of safe, high quality, and environmentally friendly processes, working practices and systemic activities that prevent or reduce the risk of harm to people in general, operators, or patients.
From an environmental standpoint, it involves creating a systematic approach to complying with environmental regulations, such as managing waste or air emissions all the way to helping site's reduce the company's carbon footprint.
Regulatory requirements play an important role in EHS discipline and EHS managers must identify and understand relevant EHS regulations, the implications of which must be communicated to executive management so the company can implement suitable measures.
