Environment, Health & Safety
Organizations must produce accurate information on demand in order to comply with government regulations from environmental agencies such as US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and occupational health and safety agencies such as US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). These regulations affect many areas of your organization, including engineering, project management, quality assurance and vendor management. All these groups must collaborate and quickly distribute, review and approve drawings and documents in a secure repository, with strict version control. Furthermore, compliance must be demonstrated through auditable processes, and all supporting documentation must be retained as records according to appropriate file plans.
OpenText solutions ensure that emergency and hazardous materials policies and change management procedures are followed with appropriate versions of all internal documentation, as well as required material safety data sheets. Learning management solutions enable you to deliver and ensure that employees are appropriately trained in compliance with EH&S standards, policies and regulations.
