Abstract
HSE expands as health, safety, and environment. This management system, also known as EHS (hereinafter referred to as EHS), is introduced by European and American companies. Compared to ISO9000 quality management system and ISO14000 environment management system, EHS has safety included. Safety, environment, and health management are actually closely interrelated in production and construction practices, thus are integrated as EHS management system. Security management sometimes is incorporated in EHS in some European and American companies or construction projects, so that they can be managed as HSSE comprehensively.
