Hello Varsha,

Environment, Health and Safety (EHS)

The specific or potential negative effect of a chemical, physical, biological, or other nature on the health or wellbeing of persons in a company.

SAP also uses the term to refer to hazards.

Agents have the specification category "agent." Depending on the Customizing settings for the agent type, agents can also be specifications, materials, or tasks. Examples of agents are:

UV radiation

Lifting loads

Mechanical hazard caused by lack of safety barrier

Butyl alcohol

Hi Shyam,

My intentiona is not to point out, but when I see the message i felt like that, anyways its good attempt.

Varsha,

Coming to ur specific query, Measurement projects in EHS are meant for measuring different agents exposures within the work areas, For the assigned work areas you specify which agents are to be measured. You can assign the measurement methods to the agents you want to measure and can specify the period for measurement.

best example would be Noise measuremt with in the work areas.

Shyma, which module are you wroking for?? seems you doent know much on EHS...

[Former Member]

Hi Keshav,

You are correct I am not working on EHS right now. And that is also true that I don't know much over it. But,,,

Dear friend I have tried to share what ever I know about EHS to not only Varsha but to all the forum friends.But I would be really very helpful if you correct me where i was wrong? Did any of the link I pasted was non relevant?

But yes the quot I have pasted may look non relevant but that I have pasted to share a bit different to the forum that the EHS means for US (SAP people) is Environment Health and Safety. But there are some other means of EHS exist in the world, that I retrieved from Wikipedia while I was serchin some reading material over EHS. And I have well indicated this also that this information is non relevant to the question (by pasting the text as <CODE>.

Although it was un-intentional, and I sincerely apologies if I my reply misguided any of my forum friend.

Regards,
