Your Challenges
Do you face challenges in communicating the value of
your EHS program to your corporate team? If so, explain
what is challenging or why.

Value is doubted

Yes

No

Translating EHS value into $$$
Yes if significant budget needed
Not yet learning from each Near Miss
EHS has been a "football" over the past (6) years

Not in the value, but in direction
Other business lines have their own thinking in EHS

Different cultures
different priorities

We have integrated
EHS into the
business strategy

Always, no explanation required

There is open communication
Management buy in

Not at the moment

There is a hierarchy and systematic escalation process

Too many to explain

Complicated divisional structure

Perception our industry is low risk

Demonstrating risk exists even
if there haven’t been accidents
Influence decreases as we reach outside the traditional
Operations departments
