Manufacturing EHS Job Postings across New Jersey
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

In costume and laughing, "If outside help is needed to drive compliance, solve problems, and build safety culture, what exactly is in-house EHS paid to do?"
Attention! Police Officer BRIAN LONG here, reporting live, from the left side of the photo! Here’s our team on Friday: Thumbs up, in costume, and aligned within our team-based EHS outsourcing model.

When it comes to EHS demands, less clarity leads to...more headaches.
Oxymoronic, or just plain moronic? They say, "less is more”. But when it comes to EHS demands, less clarity leads to...more headaches. I’ve heard it all: • "We need a sustainable short-term fix." • "Let’s delegate accountability to one person." • "Our compliance is fine… except for the fines." EHS is already demanding—don’t make it more complicated with contradictions. There’s a better way to get it done right. Have you researched any team-based, all-inclusive EHS outsourcing

With this week’s news about a Department of Government Efficiency, it’s worth asking—how efficient are the EHS roles we rely on to keep things running?

So if you’d rather avoid the reality of what’s often left unspoken in departments like EHS, you may want to keep scrolling. But if you’re a Plant Manager ready to tackle some hard truths, read on.
