Responsibilities In addition to an Environmental, Health, Safety, and Sustainability (EHS&S) organization providing resources with expertise in occupational health and safety, additional roles are in place across business, manufacturing, research and supply chain with expertise in occupational health and safety. These roles support and institutionalize the application of the management system to protect workers. Management system elements are owned by experts with deep knowledge of aspects of occupational health and safety and who stay current on emerging trends and industry best practices and help to build those back into the management system to further strengthen occupational health and safety controls for our workers. Each employee has a responsibility to ensure that our products and operations meet applicable government or Dow standards, whichever is more stringent, as well as for using required operating and maintenance procedures. Performance monitoring is in place for each of our targets and commitments as well as for performance against goals, execution of our work processes, adherence to our policies and standards as well as for environmental, safety, sustainability and health performance. Roles and responsibilities are defined at multiple levels, including our policies, standards and procedures. Workers who fulfill each role in the management system are trained in the requirements, work process, tools and procedures that are needed for the role, and periodically depending upon the identified re-training requirements for each role. Team meeting frequency varies from quarterly to biweekly depending on the site. Decision-making authority is given to the teams with Dow leaders having final approvals. All workers are represented by these teams and some sites also include representation for select external contracting companies.
