Health & Safety and Environmental Compliance Climb the Corporate Agenda
24th June 2010 by Alex Briggs
Health & Safety Managers are increasingly seeing Environmental Management (EM) duties becoming a part of their role. The National Examination Board in Occupational Health and Safety (NEBOSH) carried out research on UK Health & Safety managers and found that over 40% of them now have EM included in their role profile.
“We’ve seen a dramatic change in the role of health and safety managers over the last ten years, said NEBOSH Chief Executive, Teresa Budworth. “Environmental management has become a key part of the job, and a demand for knowledge of quality and compliance management is emerging too.
The role of management systems within organisations is growing as well, with many organisations now using their management systems to increase efficiency and effectiveness on top of meeting their regulatory and customer requirements.
