Economic and Business Contribution Analysis - Cost/Benefit Decision Support

The purpose of the assessment of EH&S Real Cost^TM is to determine the direct and indirect costs related to environment, health and safety (EH&S) activities throughout the operation, and to identify the consequential costs of EH&S decisions and constraints. The Real CostTM assessment addresses materials, processes, equipment, labor, administrative support, EH&S-related suppliers, environmental control equipment, permits and other regulatory constraints, EH&S programs, Customer requirements and constraints, and management time and diversions.

The Business Contribution analysis addresses current business contribution from EH&S activities and surfaces opportunities to improve results
