Before you can effectively manage the environment, health, and safety (EHS) function, you must convince management that your activities produce business value.
This practical new handbook – Making the Business Case for EHS – is written by Robert B. Pojasek, Ph.D. an international authority on process development and Adjunct Professor at Harvard University. He lays out the concrete steps that EHS (environmental health and safety) managers must take to get support for their environmental initiatives. This BLR guidebook also helps EHS managers align processes and systems with the goals of senior management, and translate initiatives into bottom line results.
This book highlights 10 principles that will guide you, along with 8 tactics you can use to implement your EHS activities. Three case studies explain in step-by-step detail how an autobody refinishing operation, a paint manufacturer, and an outboard motor company translated these principles into management support for EHS .
