The “Right Home” for Environment, Health and Safety

The EHS department can be housed in a wide variety of locations within an organization. What is its optimal placement?

The “Right Home” for Environment, Health and Safety

Several surveys conducted by management consulting organizations show that Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) is “housed” in a wide variety of locations within organizations — Operations, Facilities, Legal and Human Resources, to name a few. Determination of the functional department that “owns” EHS is attributable to a number of factors, including the organization’s perceived EHS risks as well as the legacy of influence left by the organization's various leaders.

Whether we work in a small-, medium-, or large-sized organization, none of us is individually responsible for how well EHS performs. The location of the EHS department's “home” within an organization can make a big difference in its effectiveness.

In this article, Mark Katschen shares his experience as a consultant working with environmental, health and safety groups across a variety of industries and government agencies on optimal placement of the EHS department within an organization.
