Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) issues have become more prevalent and complex as we gain an increased understanding of the risks environmental contaminant exposure, unsafe work environment, poor indoor air quality, ineffective safety management, and environmental events have on our health and well-being.An effective health and safety system at work helps to avoid risks and to retain the most important capital of every company – the Employees – as well as the environment.

Nowadays, Health and Safety in businesses is strictly regulated by many regulations and organizations are required to comply with such a standard as to how safety must be taken into account and implemented in companies.The OSHA Act and its subsequent workplace health and safety guidelines place great responsibility on employers. Some of these responsibilities include:

• Provide a workplace free from serious recognized hazards and comply with standards, rules and regulations.
• Make sure the workplace conforms to applicable OSHA standards.
• Keep equipment properly maintained and make sure employees use safe tools and equipment.
• Use color codes, posters, labels or signs to warn employees of potential hazards.
• Establish or update operating procedures and communicate them to employees.
• Provide medical examinations and training when required.
• Prominently post the OSHA poster stating employee rights and responsibilities.
• Keep records of work-related injuries and illnesses.
