From EH&S Information Management Solutions
Today, businesses face tremendous pressure to perform – not just fiscally, but in the environmental and social arenas as well. There are unprecedented challenges in the areas of: Increased compliance demonstration burdens.Increased public interest in environmental performance. Competitive pressure to optimize operations.
In the past, organizations have used the paper and...
In the past, organizations have used the paper and clipboard approach or a collection of disparate spreadsheets and databases for collecting and managing data. These approaches can lead to isolated islands of information that are difficult to interpret, consolidate, and report, and work processes that are complex and difficult for all but a few to understand.
Employing an EMIS can eliminate these disconnected islands by creating bridges for sharing data among systems. An EMIS can also help standardize business processes across an individual site or an entire company. An EMIS facilitates tasks such as collecting, managing, and reporting data associated with local, state, and federal EH&S regulatory requirements as well as greenhouse gas emissions data associated with climate change concerns.
Data accuracy and standardization
Implementing an EMIS can eliminate duplicate data entry, thereby improving accuracy and optimizing resources. It can also increase efficiency by improving standardization within the data entry process and replacing or integrating with legacy systems.
Knowledge management
Valuable information can be difficult to access or easily lost when an organization’s knowledge capital, skills, and experience are recorded on paper, stored in different databases, or kept in people’s heads. Organizations can capture valuable knowledge from senior staff by recording and managing relevant data in an EMIS. Once the critical EH&S knowledge is captured, the EMIS can be configured to deliver the right data to the right people at the right time, at the appropriate level of detail.
Enhancing compliance
With an increasing regulatory burden – in terms of both new regulations and broader liability for organizational performance – companies must have a reliable, efficient system for demonstrating compliance.
Although an automated system cannot ensure regulatory compliance, having consistent, accurate EH&S data and task management capabilities can certainly facilitate the process. For instance, an EMIS can allow the user to perform ad hoc analysis for operational changes, assessing each according to potentially applicable regulations that may be triggered. It can also notify responsible personnel when a required compliance task is upcoming or an out-of-compliance condition occurs or is likely.
Task automation
An EMIS automates time-consuming tasks, facilitates data sharing, and reduces time spent gathering and auditing data and manually generating compliance reports. Thus, the organization can minimize EH&S staff growth and allow its EH&S professionals to focus on key job functions and more strategic, goal-oriented thinking.
Data quality
A system that produces readily available, high quality data can be relied upon to support better operational decision making. It can also improve the organization’s compliance management efforts by facilitating timely reporting and helping to ensure continuous compliance.

EH&S challenges addressed by an EMIS
- A plant expansion is planned, potentially triggering new permitting and regulatory requirements
- Rightsizing has reduced the size of your EH&S staff, yet the burden of work has not decreased
- Corporate-wide initiatives have resulted in a lack of support from the Information Technology (IT) department for current environmental data management practices
- Environmental operations are handled differently among company facilities with the same processes
- Current methodologies use archaic spreadsheets that are understood by few staff members
- Data used to generate environmental regulatory reports are manually transferred, with repeated human intervention, from an ERP or production system
