Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) management has become increasingly important in recent years, especially within high risk and high reliability organisations. EHS is driven from the top and whilst there is much research on the subject of EHS leadership, there is very little on EHS governance and the Director’s role in leading or influencing change in organisational safety/EHS performance.

This book reviews the factors influencing safety/EHS leadership and governance and addresses all the areas where the role impacts on the performance and sustainability of organisations. Based on the author's in-depth research, the book draws on much of the best practice standards developed by many leading organisations such as the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE); the Institute of Directors (IoD); and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). As such, the book provides insights and legal imperatives for practitioners and leaders to inform decision making, strategy and EHS governance, all of which can have a fundamental impact on business continuity, share prices and sustainability of large organisations around the world.
