Evaluating the current status of the national health, safety and environment management system for integration, harmonization, and standardization of environmental protection

Abstract

Our research focuses on a health and safety management system based on risk identification and analysis. The research is vital due to its relation with GDP. GDP assessment performed in developing countries showed that losses caused by unmanaged HSE (Health, Safety, and Ecology) risks on average resulted in 4.2 % decline in GDP for those countries, with similar losses in various countries in this group. Hidden accidents and incidents caused by uncontrolled HSE result in damages that are about 12 times higher than the cost of direct damage.
