Unit 2: History and Evolution of Environment,
Health, and Safety – An Overview
History and evolution of environment, health, and safety – an overview
▪ Learn the scope of the EHS profession and how it

evolved into its current form and focus
▪ Understand the laws and regulations that govern
how companies operate to reduce environmental
impact and ensure a safe workplace
▪ Notice how key events increased public awareness
and compelled both industry and governments to act

Introduction
▪ The focus on safety and environmental protection is

a relatively new development in the history of
commerce and public discourse.
▪ Environmental degradation and unsafe working
conditions were considered to be an accepted cost
of doing business.
▪ EHS regulations have become more refined and in
most cases, more strict over time.
▪ Central driver for both the digital transformation and
the “green” transformation happening in the world
due to renewed focus on sustainability

The financial value proposition of the EHS function
In the US, companies spend about $171 billion per year on direct and indirect costs related to workplace
injuries. Studies show that deploying EHS systems that drive preventative actions are proven to reduce these
costs.
The National Safety Council estimates that the average cost of a medically-consulted injury approaches
$42,000 when all direct and indirect costs are included.
13 days of work are lost on average for each workplace injury.
In 2017, companies in the US were made to pay $2.98 billion in environmental non-compliance fines and
violations.
EHS practices and associated CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) practices help to preserve brand and
reputation.
