We provide PCA member companies with information, proven strategies, and collaboration opportunities to advance their safety, health, and environmental systems.
The experience and knowledge of the committee members is a resource to provide tools to assist member companies in preventing adverse events. The EHS Committee strives to allow member companies to better protect their triple bottom line – people, planet, profit.
The committee works continuously to improve EHS knowledge and management techniques to reduce personal and process safety risks. To address this important role, the committee:
- Oversees and administers the EHS Awards Program recognizing facilities, employees and leaders for their continuous improvement efforts.
- Creates Best (Better) Practice documents that are published on the PCA website.
- Provides a forum for members to share knowledge related to changing EHS rules and regulations at committee meetings and information exchanges.
- Encourages professional development and provides a forum for members to improve their knowledge on a variety of topics, such as sharing successes, challenges, and learnings to expand knowledge in the area of chemical process safety and personal safety.
- Defines and collects pertinent EHS data from member companies and disseminates aggregate data for comparative purposes.
