United States and Canada Air Quality Management Standard Implementation Plan

Abstract

Organizations can use internal management standards to set guidelines and expectations for various program areas, including stretch goals to push themselves to be leaders in a given space. Company A, a global manufacturing company, is working through creating and implementing a new Air Quality Management Standard, which supports its internal organizational goals to have a best-in-class Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) program. This project involved gathering necessary background information via pilot site reviews, document comparison, and internal interviews in order to prepare an Air Quality Management Standard Implementation Plan for Company A’s United States and Canada region. In addition, the overall Standard creation process was evaluated, and the project lead to the creation of a recommendation memo outlining strategy tools that could increase the efficiency and clarity of future Standard rollouts within Company A’s EHS group. This memo could also be applied to the five-year update process for the existing 50+ EHS Standards.
