Occupational and Environmental, Health and Safety (OEHS) is critical for all businesses, from small, family-owned, or independent business to multi-national corporations with vast workforces.
Common OEHS Challenges
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires most employers to create and maintain programs that enable a safe, healthy workplace.
Some of the challenges our clients experience most frequently include:
- Compliance management: Keeping up to date with required standards and regulations can be difficult, especially for smaller organizations lacking adequate time and resources.
- Consistency across locations: Large corporations with multiple locations that have different manufacturing processes often utilize OEHS programs specialized to each of their locations, which can lead to variations in safety requirements between regions.
- Company Reputation: Personal injury or death lawsuits can fracture a company’s reputation and the ability to retain and attract employees. Employees who feel unsafe at work are more likely to seek out jobs elsewhere, making it difficult for companies to maintain a stable workforce.
