EHS Department Changes
A Message from Aimee Nash, Sr. Director - Environment, Health & Safety
As we continue our safety journey together as one company, we're excited to introduce “EHS Without Borders” – a change in the structure of our Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) Team. Organized not by legacy company but by geography, we will better leverage the talent and expertise of our EHS Team and resources across the organization.
The chart pictured below shows how our EHS department will be structured to provide enhanced support to all our facilities. Each of the three regional “Districts” – Central, East, and West will be comprised of six “Sections.” Each of these defined areas will be led by EHS professionals - the majority of whom are already part of our existing EHS Teams.
The goal of this new structure is to streamline EHS policies, procedures, training and engagement programs, communications, and organizational expectations. This will ensure our hazard prevention and control programs are comprehensive and consistent at all our locations. It will also allow us to apply best practices more effectively and efficiently across the organization.
Most importantly, our new, shared approach to EHS will allow us to direct more resources to keep our team members safe.
Essential to the success of our EHS Without Borders program will be close partnerships with team members at every level of the organization. We will share more in the coming weeks. In the meantime, please reach out to your local Safety contact or Aimee Nash at Aimee.Nash@ryerson.com.
