Within all industries, there are three consistent requirements that must be instilled in all processes and strategies – the environment and health & safety of all involved.
Reducing environmental impact can take many forms, from the choice of suppliers and materials used to production and distribution methods. An environmental management strategy is essential to identify areas of concern and improve overall impacts and operations.
The health & safety of employees and the community should always be a priority in any organisation. For example, fire alarm systems in apartment complexes, ergonomically built workplaces, personal protective equipment and air & water quality are just some of the many considerations to ensure the health and wellbeing of everyone.
Standards play a vital role in shaping these management strategies, helping any organisation in any industry improve their environmental and safety management plans and processes.
