EHS (Environment, Health, and Safety)
EHS (Environment, Health and Safety) is an integrated discipline that manages environmental protection, occupational health and workplace safety risks under a unified management framework.
What Is EHS?
EHS (Environment, Health and Safety) broadens the scope of OHS by incorporating environmental compliance and sustainability. Organizations with EHS departments manage air quality, waste disposal and emissions alongside worker safety and health programs.
EHS vs. OHS
While OHS focuses exclusively on worker safety and health, EHS adds the environmental dimension: regulatory compliance with environmental protection acts, emissions monitoring, hazardous waste management and spill prevention.
