EHS Specialist

These pillars of management: Leadership, Planning, Communication, Organization management, Safety / Quality improve overall productivity.

Safety improves quality and productivity. When operations are unsafe, they are not well-managed. Employees will not be motivated nor mindful, and employee turnover will be far greater. Quality and productivity both suffer when employees are under stress, unsatisfied, or unable to complete their mission. But when businesses are safe, it frees employees to focus on their quality and their productivity. The safer the organization is, the less often the organization will experience large scale disruption.

Quality improves safety and productivity. Safety is a measure of conscientiousness and proactiveness. High quality work means better results and better products. The higher the quality of the work, the fewer re-works are needed, and the greater overall productivity is. When quality is high for a business, it can be assumed that standards for the business are high, including safety equipment, safety software, and safety processes.

Productivity improves safety and quality. Carelessness is often what begets safety issues. With the right (and productive) safety processes, safety can be improved, and quality can be improved as well. The more productive employees are, the less likely they are to cut corners on things like safety processes. The more productive they are, the more likely they are to pay extra attention to the quality of their work.
