With steep escalation in business challenges, rising cost and stiff competition, keeping Safety Health & Environment (SH&E) the top priority, is indeed an uphill task for many organizations. With the continuing economic instability and other interlinked uncertainties in the business arena, sustaining a high level of SH&E standards is often viewed as 'over-doing' and unnecessary.

Several key elements in the modern, lean and business focused SH&E management strategies that will help Senior Management 'own' and effectively engage themselves in upholding SH&E aspects as a core value within their organizations. SH&E commitment starts in the Board Room and it is a leadership function. The leadership influences the culture and behavior of the way that business operates.
