Manufacturing of durable, nondurable or general consumer products brings unique challenges for Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS / HSE) professionals.

Whether your company is manufacturing automobiles, consumer goods, farm/construction equipment, super alloys for aerospace, die cast operations, ammunition and any other durable or non-durable goods production, these workers and the equipment they use must be protected by highly skilled and knowledgeable EHS Professionals.

Manufacturing, in general, must mitigate environmental air, waste and water pollution risks.  Depending on their operations, they may have Machine Guarding, Lock Out / Tag Out (LOTO), Pinch Point, Ergonomics and Repetitive Stress Injury, Fall from Height, Crane / Sling, Forklift / Powered Truck among dozens of other safety risks.  Then, of course, there is the work environment exposures to noxious fumes, dust and combustible dust, noise and hearing abatement, respirator fit testing and blood level monitoring for exposure to toxic metals.

The EHS Professionals who fulfill these roles are experts whose responsibility it is to ensure that their workplace protects lives and property while simultaneously protecting their company’s profit margins.  They are expected to design, develop, implement and continuously improve Injury and Illness Prevention Plans (IIPP) programs that will:
