ERM’s HEALTH AND SAFETY SERVICES OVERVIEW:
Health and Safety performance is a continuing source of risk to business, and an increasing focus of business leadership. Companies are spending as much as 15% to 20% of operating expenditures on Health and Safety process and programs but are seeing only a fraction of this impacting behaviors on the front-line, and therefore Health and Safety performance. ERM partners with our clients to deliver reductions in risk and sustained improvements in Health and Safety performance, as well as extract much greater value from their existing Health and Safety programs, processes and tools.

ERM takes a distinctive approach to Health and Safety - one focused across the entirety of our client's operational lifecycle. For major capital projects as an example, ERM works with clients to co-design and operationalize a robust Health and Safety and risk management business process throughout the design, construction, commissioning, and start-up phases. For existing facilities, ERM partners with clients to reduce accidents by unlocking untapped potential in leadership, culture, Health and Safety programs, and processes. We help many of our clients build the business “Case for Change” through a diagnostic process to identify opportunities to add value through managing enterprise-wide risks.  ERM is uniquely positioned through our leadership in the ESG space to help our clients link Health and Safety efforts to ESG efforts such as Safety and Healthy Workplaces, Supply Chains and Safety renewable energy sources.  ERM's approaches also focus on leadership performance and behaviors - practical actions and high-impact training to motivate and equip corporate, site-based, and front-line leaders to breathe life into established programs and processes.
