Preservation and protection of environment is the biggest challenge facing the world today. Consequently, the companies are under increasing pressure to demonstrate that they do not pursue profit at the expense of the environment. The customers, governments and communities want to use eco-friendly products and services to minimize or mitigate their effect on global environments. To help improve their performance in environmental arena, organizations implement Environmental Management Systems based on ISO 14001:2004 standard and seek independent certification to assure credibility and worthiness of their systems.

Industrial activities are inherently hazardous and could pose unacceptable risk of harm to the persons working in the organizations. Thus, organizations world-wide give primary importance to the protection and wellbeing of their employees. Accidents resulting in injury or harm have adverse consequences both for the organizations and their employees. These could be financial, loss of business and reputation. Therefore organizations increasingly are implementing occupational health and safety systems which establish internationally acceptable best practices in OH & S.
