Six Pillars of an EHS Compliance Program
Managing EHS compliance in six simple steps
Since the creation of the EPA in 1970, the number of environment, health, and safety (EHS) regulations has grown exponentially. So much so that government-led initiatives, legislation, and international regulations reflect the continued need and expectance for companies to drive change.
With environmental regulations at the global, national, and local levels, corporate key performance indicators (KPIs) are commonly tied to regulations — making it vital for businesses to have a robust EHS compliance program.
What does a strong EHS compliance program look like?
In this whitepaper, RegScan examines the six pillars of an EHS compliance program to give you a detailed understanding of what should be included, how to successfully implement it, and what that success looks like.
Explore the six pillars of EHS compliance
Our experts have broken down an EHS compliance program into six distinguishable parts, each of which is necessary to form a strong foundation for success.
- “Legal registers”: A comprehensive collection of continually updated relevant regulatory information 2.
- Requirements and obligations: All the applicable and relevant requirements your business must comply with 3
- Tasks: A simplified interpretation of all requirements, with clear to-do tasks for employees to implement
- Inspections: The which, what, and how of required inspections — so everything that needs to be done, will be done
- Audit questions and guidance: Comprehensive checklists and professional guidance to audit internally
- Findings and corrective actions: Clear, decisive actions to remedy any non-compliance issues identified during internal auditing
These pillars provide consistency across a business, create employee-level accountability, and offer transparency to regulators, auditors, and stakeholders, demonstrating your seriousness and commitment to implementing a fully effective compliance program.
