Environmental Health and Safety

Why Special Expertise

Concept #1

If you are consuming, manufacturing, or distributing chemical substances as part of your business activities, you are likely subject to regulatory requirements related to handling of hazardous materials. 

These requirements range from proper labeling and providing safety datasheets (SDS's) to tracking and reporting quantities of substances that you purchase, import, produce, sell, or export.
‍
Unfortunately, complying with regulatory requirements and implementing best practices related to safety, industrial hygiene and occupational health has become an increasingly complex task. Rules are becoming more and more stringent, and there is increased movement of potentially hazardous materials around global supply chains and regulatory requirements vary in each jurisdiction.  

Effective management of these processes requires a solution that is fully integrated with the manufacturing and logistics business processes.  

The good news is that SAP’s Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) management team provides robust functionalities to manage these different processes cost-effectively. SAP’s EHS tools can manage all processes related to material safety, hazardous substance and dangerous goods as well as waste management, occupational health, and industrial hygiene and safety. SAP cross module integration allows you to leverage health and safety data in areas such as Warehouse Management and Human Resources, streamlining the generation of fire department and OSHA reports.
