MIT is currently developing a comprehensive Environment, Health & Safety Management System (EHS-MS) that is intended to become a model for large, research-focused colleges and universities. By doing so, MIT joins hundreds of other organizations that are also implementing a management system approach to improving environmental performance. While the reasons for implementing a management system vary, most expect to improve their environmental performance, improve compliance with regulations and laws, and create a safer and healthier workplace. This workshop will: 1) Describe what an EHS Management System is; 2) Discuss market drivers; 3) Review the leading EMS Standards; 4) Examine elements common to all Standards; and 5) Provide case studies. Examples will be used to illustrate the concepts inherent a management system.
