Supervisors are now accountable for the incident investigation process.

I was talking with a plant leader recently. Good operation. No major issues. At one point, he mentioned that most EHS items run through one person. So I asked, what happens when that person is out? There was a pause. Not a long one. Just enough. You could tell. How much of your EHS program depends on one or two people being available? If that answer isn’t clear, it’s probably worth a closer look.

I’m seeing a lot of manufacturing EHS job postings across New Jersey. The postings describe the role in detail, and these are roles I’ve seen posted before. It reflects how EHS is expected to function. At high-performing sites, EHS is part of running the operation. It's built into how expectations are set, how supervisors run their areas, and how decisions get made day to day, with operations accountable and EHS coaching and supporting. At Baron, we work with organizations bu

My stance for EHS Excellence: Any business model that includes a Site EHS Lead is OUTDATED. Yes Sir, Yes Ma'am, I'll hold my ground on this. Here it is rephrased: A Site EHS Lead as the foundation of a program? That model is clearly outdated. EHS excellence has no single point of failure. It is an EHS-driven culture, coached by a dedicated team rather than a chain of site and corporate EHS roles. I really like that prior sentence. It calls into question the value derived from

Wouldn’t it be nice if your EHS program ran as smoothly -- AND AS CONFIDENTLY -- as Tesla’s Full Self-Driving? No overcorrecting. No last second scrambling. Just steady progress with the system handling the complexity behind the scenes. While the car handled the road, I recorded this quick story: - One client had a single bad formula in their RPPR spreadsheet. - We caught it. We aligned the NOx and nitric acid usage as the permit required. - We likely cut a week-long DEP audi

If your EHS program only works when one person is gripping the wheel, then it’s not sustainable. The moment they’re gone—you crash

THE EHS FAILURE CYCLE – HOW WE FIXED IT A Northern NJ manufacturing site had a long history of EHS failures: - 4 different EHS managers in 5 years - Compliance gaps and a broken safety culture - Incident investigations with no real corrective actions - A site "EHS specialist" acting as a roadblock instead of a solution The company tried the traditional approach—hiring another EHS specialist—but problems persisted. Why? Because real safety isn’t built on one person’s shoulders
