Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) Translations
CSOFT’s EHS translation solutions, tailored for multilingual communications, ensure businesses meet their EHS compliance requirements in any language
For companies operating in global markets, EHS translations, or environment, health and safety (EHS/ EH&S) translation, is critical when meeting regulatory guidelines in different regions and countries. EHS documents refer to regulatory documents and workplace guidelines, enforced differently from country to country, that oversee general well-being in an occupational setting. Well-structured EHS management is essential to organizations in all industries as it monitors workplace hazards and controls work-related risks. Broadly defined under standards established by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) in 1998, EHS is informed by specific guidance from organizations around the world, including:
- Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
- Eco-management and Audit Scheme (EMAS)
- ISO 14001 for environmental management
- ISO 14501 for occupational health and safety management
- Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013 (RIDDOR)
- Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB)
- Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA)
- Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
EHS studies and implements practices that protect the environment and maintain the health and safety of workers. Quality assurance (QA) and Quality control (QC) are fundamental components of ensuring the effectiveness of EHS procedures and are often referred to as HSQE. As an essential component of workplace safe reviewed and enforced by regulatory bodies that advise governments and corporations on risk mitigation, EHS is also referred to in other terms, including:
- Occupational health and safety (OHS)
- Work health and safety (WHS)
- Health, safety and environment (HSE)
For companies working to meet EHS mandates, documenting and actively bringing employee awareness to workplace hazards is a vital requirement for compliance and avoiding harmful situations and interactions. Training workers in correct procedures, including accident response and using protective equipment, is crucial to preventing accidents. Developing safe, high-quality, and environmentally friendly work practices that mitigate workplace risks is vital to thriving operations. With these environmental protocols in place, companies can also ensure environmental regulatory compliance through waste management and air quality to reduce a company’s carbon footprint.
