Do You Have a Proper EHS Policy Yet?

Safety of employees and working safely are hot items. Did you know that most industrial accidents happen in construction, transport and production environments? Even more reason to take a closer look at your Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) policy. For you organisation, too, it is important to map out the risks during (maintenance) activities and keep a proper registration of incidents and near-incidents. Not only will this ensure a safer working environment, but it is also an indispensable part of your organisation’s working conditions policy.

Employees who are more aware of and actively involved with the risks that their work poses contribute to lowering the risk of incidents and the number of incidents.

Preventing Incidents

Many incidents can be prevented. Purely by inventorying the risks beforehand and taking the correct measures. Accurate registration of near–incidents and proper and regular maintenance of materials are also important contributors. For example, when you know it’s going to sleet, you can almost completely eliminate a large number of associated risks beforehand and thus prevent a possible incident. Not just today, but also in the future.

In the e-book ‘Maintenance Issues: Is Safety More Than Just Proper Maintenance?’, you can read about Environment, Health & Safety.
