CH2M's EHS CHeck provides guidance on changing impacts of Environmental Health and Safety regulations
DENVER, April 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- CH2M, a global engineering and consulting firm and leader in the delivery of sustainable development solutions for infrastructure and industry, has developed a new online Environmental Health and Safety publication titled EHS CHeck to provide a high level look at the rapidly changing EHS regulatory environment. Designed to help EHS professionals and corporate leaders in the private and public sectors with decision-making on issues that impact their businesses and operations, EHS CHeck details new and existing rules under the current U.S. administration, and will be supplemented with online updates and developments by EHS technical experts.
Rules and executive orders on the environment, climate change, worker occupational safety and health, and more, are subject to stays, changes or potential rescindment by the administration. EHS CHeck looks at the future status of EHS regulations in the U.S. as well as in the U.K., Canada and Australia. Synopses, direct links and additional resources are provided on regulations ranging from the U.S. EPA Risk Management Program, Hazardous Waste Generator Rule, OSHA Violations and Injury Reporting, and the Department of Transportation Construction Management/General Contractor Final Rule.
According to lead author Tabitha Laser, CH2M Global Health and Safety Practice Leader, "Readers will appreciate having one source for highlights and updates on the most impactful changes to important U.S. and international regulations." For example, better understanding of increases in OSHA fine limits may provide companies with greater motivation for making proactive EHS improvements. Changes to whistleblower regulations and safety incentive classifications may subject companies to new reporting penalties. Learning about the proposed elimination of programs for restoring watersheds and coastal and marine habitats across the nation may change strategic planning associated with facility expansion or development.
CH2M Private Sector President Matthew Sutton added, "We're proud to showcase our thought leadership and technical expertise in the EHS regulatory arena to help our clients make better informed business and project decisions to protect their bottom line."
CH2M's EHS CHeck authors include Tabitha Laser, CSP; Kelly Sobczak, P.E., Global Practice Director for Environmental Asset Services; Rachel Carlson, EHS Audit and Compliance Practice Leader; Brian Calcote, EHS Information Management Systems Practice Leader; and Don Caniparoli, Air Quality Practice Leader.
