Greetings, Our company is considering merging Compliance Engineering with Environmental Health and Safety.
Compliance engineering is responsible for product safety and EMC as well as handling product liability issues. Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) develops and implements chemical regulations. They focus on toxic substances and chemical regulations. Does anyone have any experience with a similar organizational set-up? What are the advantages? What are the disadvantages? How could this structure benefit the company as opposed to leaving them as two separate departments? Currently, the EHS Department reports to Quality. Would it make better sense for EHS Department to report to Compliance versus Quality? All responses are greatly appreciated.
