Corporations, among other organizations, must remain focused on a sustainable competitive advantage while at the same time minimizing the pain and pit falls that often permeate today's business world. More often than not, quality and efficient environmental health and safety (EH&S) performance is a prerequisite to this end.

Organizations must consider and ask themselves: How much of our resources do we expend on EH&S? Do our EH&S programs have measurable goals and are the goals being met? How will we fare through a regulatory audit? Are we doing what we can to ensure the safety of our employees? How can we reduce EH&S costs without sacrificing compliance and safety? Finally, what EH&S program enhancements will improve the profitability and strength of our company?

With today's fast paced changes and growing regulatory burden, companies that do not closely monitor and control their EH&S programs run the risk of stumbling financially, at a minimum. Even companies that are committed to high EH&S standards can run into difficulties establishing EH&S programs that are comprehensive, cost-effective, and complement and enhance company goals and strategies.
