Book Description

Using the most successful evaluation system in the world for measuring impact and ROI—the ROI Methodology—learn how to measure the success of all business programs and projects involving environmental initiatives, health-related programs for employees and citizens, and various safety programs in all types of settings Few topics are more important than the health and safety of employees, associates, and citizens. Organizations focus a tremendous amount of money/resources on maintaining a zero-harm approach to its employees, the greater community, and the surrounding environment. At the same time, organizations are implementing many types of wellness and fitness programs ensuring that employees remain healthy, safe, and productive. Measuring ROI in Environment, Health, and Safety shows how to measure the success of all types of programs and projects involving environmental initiatives, health-related programs for employees and citizens, and various safety programs in all types of settings. Environmental efforts, or green projects, can represent value for organizations. Eighty percent can deliver a positive ROI, and the other 20 percent are often required by regulation. In either case, it is critical to understand whether or not these projects are working. This new book will show step-by-step how to measure the success of many types of green programs. Within an organization, responsibility for environment, health, and safety is often under the direction of the same executive team. Their concern is always about how well the programs are working and, more importantly, what can be done to ensure that they are more successful. ROI in Environment, Health, and Safety introduces the ROI Methodology, now used by over 4,000 organizations, and the most successful and utilized evaluation system in the world for measuring program impact and ROI. It shows step-by-step how to capture the reaction to the various initiatives and programs a firm may institute, the learning necessary to make them successful, progress in terms of application and implementation, the specific business impact measures driven by these programs, and, finally, the financial ROI. Along the way, data is collected for process improvement to ensure that if certain programs are not working, they can be adjusted for success.

Book Description

This book reveals how subjective and objective data gathered by innovative methods of measurement give us the ability to quantify stress, health, performance, and wellbeing outcomes in different built environments. Design interventions informed by these measures, along with innovative integrated building materials, can shape the character of built environments for better health, productivity, and performance. These measures can help employers and managers calculate the return on investment (ROI) of various design interventions. Areas of inquiry in health and the built environment are discussed in three parts: Part 1 – Fundamentals: Human, Environment, and Material Measures for Health and Wellbeing; Part 2 – Methods: Measurement Techniques, Tools, and Methods for Health and Wellbeing; and Part 3 – Applications: Case Studies and Future Directions. The rapid pace of technical innovation and entrepreneurship by interdisciplinary research teams in health and the built environment has created a need for more publications such as this book, which discuss latest tools and methods of measuring the effects of the built environment on human physiology and psychology. Emerging tools and techniques are introduced for this field of built environment design, including virtual reality immersive environments and fisheye lens photograph simulations for human wellbeing impact measures integral to the design process. The potentials and limitations of bio‐responsive material systems and integrated sensing devices with wearable technologies linked to the Internet of Things are discussed in relation to human wellbeing performance improvements. The book provides both the foundational knowledge and fundamentals for characterizing human health and wellbeing in the built environment as well as emerging trends and design research methods for innovations in this field. It will be of interest to researchers, educators, and students of architecture, interior design, and integrative medicine, as well as professionals working in health and the built environment.

Book Description

As changing customer demands and shifting world markets continue to put a strain on businesses in all sectors, your business needs every advantage to stay competitive. Many people may think of Lean processes as suitable only for the manufacturing floor, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Safety Performance in a Lean Environment: A Guide to Building Safety into a Process demonstrates how Lean tools can eliminate waste in your safety program, making it an important piece not only in keeping your organization safe but also in keeping it globally competitive. Written by safety pro Paul F. English, this book explores tools such as Lean manufacturing, DMAIC processes, and Kepner-Trego problem solving and how to use them to increase efficiency and eliminate waste in safety programs. He goes on to discuss value-based management, a technique identified as a leading business model for any organization wanting to catch "The Toyota Way." These processes help you build, incorporate, and sustain a safety program and understand how to get and maintain a foothold for the safety program in times of change. Here’s what you get: Real safety solutions for a Lean environment Methods for setting up standard work for EHS professionals How-tos for JSA and pre-task analysis to help develop standardized work Tips and tricks that everyone can use to jump start a stalled safety program No book currently on the market discusses Lean manufacturing or Six Sigma processes and links them to the occupational safety or environmental science. Yet these are the areas where the need for Lean processes is becoming acute. English demonstrates how to anticipate paradigm shifts in management models and how environmental health and safety fits into the model. He defines what adds value to the safety and manufacturing process as well as to the customer. These changes may include a change in daily, weekly or monthly metrics that can help or harm a safety program. Defining what adds value to the safety and manufacturing process and the customer helps you understand how to build safety into a process, creating a strong safety program.
