Multinational corporations, from power companies and airlines to construction firms, are waking up to the importance of dealing with environmental, health and safety (EHS) issues in the workplace. This has driven demand for EHS managers, a relatively new role in Hong Kong.
'As the name implies, the role of an EHS manager is to make sure that a company complies with all relevant government regulations and industry best practices that are related to the environment, health and safety,' says Andrew Chung, managing consultant for engineering, supply chain and manufacturing at recruitment firm Manpower.
