Operation control over inputs and outputs of EHS implementation
The inputs for the EHS implementation from legal agency, steering committee, head of department, And audit reports are consider. This inputs are use for hazard identification, risk assessment, aspect / impact study, legal and other requirements. As well as training requirements, audit, medical checkup etc., are general processes consider as inputs.
Control Over inputs
