1. How do you implement EHS risk management?
To facilitate your risk assessment processes, use a comprehensive solution, which consolidates quality, health, safety and environmental risk management expertise. Our software prioritizes your risks according to your chosen methodology and our EHS experts offer additional support and guidance.

2. Environmental risks
The regulatory monitoring process involves identifying the environmental, health, safety and workplace legislation that concerns your organization. All your business activities and the countries in which your sites are located must be covered. Environmental risks include the impact of your business activity as well as external threats to your business.

Here are some examples:
– Your pollution: air, water and soil. You are responsible for determining the potential damage that your activity and the products you use will have on the surrounding environment. Chemical products can spread in the ground or via a river, flammable products can explode in your workplace.
– External risks: list all the hazards that pose a threat to your business given its location, structure and activity. E.g., an area prone to flooding, fires or urbanization.

3. How do you assess EHS risks?
During an EHS risk assessment, you must measure the impact of potential hazards and their likelihood of occurring in order to plan preventive actions.

3.1 Launch your EHS risk management project
Assemble a dedicated team, organize your project and define your objectives. Select an EHS advisor to perform the assessment to ensure a comprehensive and clear vision of the environmental, health and safety risks present in your organization.

3.2. Highlight potential dangers
Record all identifiable risks in your EHS risk management tool. Whether it is the use of dangerous products, specific actions or processes, identify them as environmental hazards and highlight the possible consequences for your organization.

3.3. Prioritize your risks
The risks identified must be prioritized according to their probability and severity. The software uses data from previous incidents in combination with your chosen methodology, to provide you with a hazard ranking to utilize during your risk management. If you do not have a preferred methodology, you can ask an EHS expert to make a recommendation.

3.4. Plan corrective and preventive action
The risk classification established by the software offers a basis for defining a preventive action plan to ensure your compliance. Plan a schedule of corrective actions with your team. This may include the implementation of new processes, training or additional labeling.

Your occupational risk assessment must be monitored and updated regularly to ensure continued occupational health and safety compliance and to maintain your prevention plan within the platform.
