How is occupational health and safety divided within EHS?
Thread Content
In the areas of environment, health, and safety, the latter two are closely interconnected in many ways. If we want to reflect their differences in job design by defining distinct responsibilities for each, how should we make such distinctions? Personally, I think safety is a very broad concept; if discussed in general terms, it becomes vague, and it includes almost everything related to production. As for how to specify it more precisely, that is exactly what I am thinking about. I’m raising this issue here in the hope that those who work in similar fields can discuss it together.
Safety encompasses many aspects, and occupational health falls within the scope of safety; it cannot be separated from it
ISO14000 and 18000 can be integrated
This integrated space is too complex to be divided so simply for those who are actually engaged in related work. H, S, and E are all part of a whole and cannot be separated, but in practice they should be divided into separate sections; some consist of content that is independent, while others are interconnected and form one unit. That’s why I raised questions regarding the responsibilities of each role related to H, S, and E Of course, if a company has only one person responsible for all three areas, then that person’s responsibilities cover everything, so it seems unnecessary to make a distinction. But in my opinion, macro-level understanding must be based on an overall consideration of all details. Last edited by limingshuguang on 2007-12-10 09:28]
It shouldn’t be possible to separate them. This is a whole. If a division is indeed necessary, it will simply be the different people within the security department who are responsible for each small area, thereby enabling more detailed management
Reply to floor 3: Are you stupid? 14,000, 18,000 and HSE are completely different concepts
