It seems to me that most HSE profession started their careers as technocrats engineers, scientists and experienced technicians , and most came from a worker safety background.
Most HSE professionals are already working a full-time job and to expect that they can effectively carry out these additional job functions on their own is simply not plausible. Scientists are people who know more and more about less and less, until they know everything about nothing.
While I have great respect for both and I do have a Ph. I do not think that the most effective HSE professionals are found at either extreme noted by Lorenz. Rather, an effective HSE manager will be part philosopher well-rounded in all subject materials , part technocrat critical thinking and expertise in certain areas , part pragmatist experienced and solution oriented and part psychologist dealing with people - workers and management.

Google Trends is a simple but powerful tool that provides users with access to search term frequency within a specific timeframe. It also allows you to filter the results according to geography, category and type of search for increased relevancy. For this research, we specifically examined search terms, changed the geographic profile to worldwide, changed the timeframe to the last five years and further refined the data to the category of occupational health and safety.
This allowed us to see a worldwide view on the use of the search terms, while also restricting the data to the most relevant results. When examining the data from a worldwide perspective, the most popular search term continues to be EHS as we saw at the end of Interest in EHS vs. HSE remains almost 20 points higher and does not appear to be on any trend that would change these results. However, as we said when we first published this article in late , just because EHS is the most popular term from a worldwide perspective does not mean that it is necessarily the correct acronym for your organization.
It is important for businesses to examine their strategic objectives and determine where the correct acronym will complement their activities based on their targeted geographies. EHS might be suited for larger companies who are growing on a global scale but OHS might be better for those looking to expand within Canada or Australia.
