Sustainability
“Sustainable development is development that
meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to
meet their own needs” Brundtland Commission, 1987
•Long-term, inter-generational considerations
•Equality
•Limitations of environmental resources
these underlying themes can be “managed and
improved to make way for a new era of economic growth”

GRI
• GRI pioneered the world‟s most widely used
sustainability-reporting framework.
• Their core goals include the mainstreaming of
disclosure on environmental, social and
governance performance.
• GRI's Reporting Framework is developed through
a consensus-seeking, multi-stakeholder process.
• Participants are drawn from global business, civil
society, labor, academic and professional
institutions.
![Page 9: AIHA Update: Current Initiatives - The Source s/EEI... · •Limitations of environmental resources ... •Quality control •Environmental •Waste management •Facilities engineering](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022043023/5f3ec5499b949b3cfa5beb37/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

GRI
•The GRI Reporting Framework sets out principles and
performance indicators that organizations can use to
measure and report their economic, environmental,
and social performance.
•The cornerstone of the Framework are the
Sustainability Reporting Guidelines. The third version
of the Guidelines – known as the G3 Guidelines - was
published in 2006, and is a free public good.
•GRI began a process in 2011 to revise and update
G3. The next version, referred to as G4, will be
published in 2013.

Founding Vision for the Center
For all organizations to recognize their
responsibility to ensure that the
protection of human life and the safety,
health and well-being of workers,
customers, and neighboring
communities is among the primary
considerations in any business
practices, operations or development.

The AIHA Value Strategy
A Process for Promoting Health and
Safety Interventions
Bernie Silverstein, CIH and Donna Doganiero, CIH
![Page 19: AIHA Update: Current Initiatives - The Source s/EEI... · •Limitations of environmental resources ... •Quality control •Environmental •Waste management •Facilities engineering](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022043023/5f3ec5499b949b3cfa5beb37/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What is
the IH Value Proposition?
Decreased
costs
Decreased
employee
absenteeism
Decreased
employee
turnover
Improved
operational
efficiency
Improved
customer
retention
Improved
employee
morale
Increased
market
share
Increased
capacity
Increased
revenues
Faster time
to market
Higher
quality
The sum total of all benefits
derived is greater than the
cost of investment
The AIHA Value
Strategy provides a
framework to identify
and quantify those
benefits and costs
![Page 20: AIHA Update: Current Initiatives - The Source s/EEI... · •Limitations of environmental resources ... •Quality control •Environmental •Waste management •Facilities engineering](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022043023/5f3ec5499b949b3cfa5beb37/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What did the study find?
• Interventions initiated to address IH issues make significant contributions to the overall business and its operations
• Essential contributions to business value are rarely associated with IH
• Investments that follow the hierarchy of controls approach result in positive outcomes for workers and substantial positive returns for the business
![Page 21: AIHA Update: Current Initiatives - The Source s/EEI... · •Limitations of environmental resources ... •Quality control •Environmental •Waste management •Facilities engineering](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022043023/5f3ec5499b949b3cfa5beb37/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Case study findings
Eliminating the hazard or implementing engineering
controls…
…instead of using PPE or administrative controls
even if the initial cost is higher
Sources of IH value to business
Anticipating worker exposures and designing process
improvements to reduce or eliminate these exposures…
… resulting in significant contributions
to business profitability
![Page 22: AIHA Update: Current Initiatives - The Source s/EEI... · •Limitations of environmental resources ... •Quality control •Environmental •Waste management •Facilities engineering](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022043023/5f3ec5499b949b3cfa5beb37/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Why is demonstrating value
important?
• Resources are limited… …and competition is high
• A clear connection to the bottom line…
… provides compelling information for management
• Positions IHs as essential contributors…
…to business and operations teams
![Page 23: AIHA Update: Current Initiatives - The Source s/EEI... · •Limitations of environmental resources ... •Quality control •Environmental •Waste management •Facilities engineering](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022043023/5f3ec5499b949b3cfa5beb37/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Conduct risk assessmentisk
assessment • Use existing and proven risk assessment
method
– AIHA Exposure Assessment Strategies
• Assess baseline risk
– Determine status quo
• Develop relative ranking of prospective
projects
• Compare baseline to post-intervention risk
• Evaluate prospective interventions
– Engineering controls, work practices and
procedures and PPE

Topics for discussion
• Value of health hazard banding and
control banding to effective,
comprehensive risk management
• Value to Prevention through Design
• NIOSH/AIHA/stakeholder hazard
banding activities
![Page 44: AIHA Update: Current Initiatives - The Source s/EEI... · •Limitations of environmental resources ... •Quality control •Environmental •Waste management •Facilities engineering](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022043023/5f3ec5499b949b3cfa5beb37/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Scope of challenge to manage
worker exposure to chemicals
• ~35,000,000 organic and inorganic substances
• ~21,000,000 commercially available chemicals
• 107,067 REACH* registrations (1-3-11) for >1000
tons production volume or those of high concern
– More chemicals will be registered for the >1 ton
amounts through various deadlines ending in 2018
*REACH – Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals
BUT… there are ~ 500 PELs, ~ 650 RELs,~ 125 WEELs,
~ 650 TLVs
![Page 45: AIHA Update: Current Initiatives - The Source s/EEI... · •Limitations of environmental resources ... •Quality control •Environmental •Waste management •Facilities engineering](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022043023/5f3ec5499b949b3cfa5beb37/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
• How can we “design out” hazards if we
haven‟t identified or categorized them?
• How can we “design in” controls if we
haven‟t assessed the potential risk from
task-based occupational exposures?
Key Questions
![Page 46: AIHA Update: Current Initiatives - The Source s/EEI... · •Limitations of environmental resources ... •Quality control •Environmental •Waste management •Facilities engineering](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022043023/5f3ec5499b949b3cfa5beb37/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Background: Health Hazard Bands
• Based on the NIH/CDC Biosafety Level model
• Concept developed by the pharmaceutical industry in
1980s
– Increased specificity of investigational new drugs
– High throughput screening increased the number of
investigational new drugs in research labs and pilot plants
• Assign chemicals into “categories” or “bands” based on
their inherent properties
• Facilitates the implementation of “control bands”
• Not a substitute for OELs or exposure monitoring
surveys
![Page 47: AIHA Update: Current Initiatives - The Source s/EEI... · •Limitations of environmental resources ... •Quality control •Environmental •Waste management •Facilities engineering](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022043023/5f3ec5499b949b3cfa5beb37/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Hazard banding value to NIOSH
• Efficiency of REL and WEEL development is outpaced
by the speed of new chemical introduction into
commerce
– Limited human and financial resources; may be limited data
– Intensive process to assure accurate interpretation of data
• Can be used with minimal data
• Supports the definition of OEL-ranges for families of
materials
– By analogy (structure activity relationships and functionality)
• Provides a screening tool for the development of OELs
• Highlights areas where data are missing
![Page 48: AIHA Update: Current Initiatives - The Source s/EEI... · •Limitations of environmental resources ... •Quality control •Environmental •Waste management •Facilities engineering](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022043023/5f3ec5499b949b3cfa5beb37/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Hazard Banding value to Industrial
Hygienists
• Provides guidance for materials without authoritative OELs
• Identifies hazards that should be evaluated for substitution
• Aligned with Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for hazard communication
• Logical approach for initiating Control Banding – i.e., linking to task-based, control-focused solutions
• Facilitates the application of PtD to eliminate hazards and minimize risks to chemical agents
![Page 49: AIHA Update: Current Initiatives - The Source s/EEI... · •Limitations of environmental resources ... •Quality control •Environmental •Waste management •Facilities engineering](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022043023/5f3ec5499b949b3cfa5beb37/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

Legislation
• AB 1879—authorizes DTSC to establish a process, including multimedia life cycle evaluation, to identify & prioritize “chemicals of concern”, evaluate alternatives and specify regulatory responses.
• SB 509—requires DTSC to establish Toxics Information Clearinghouse for collection, maintenance and distribution of chemical hazard traits and environmental and toxicological endpoints.
![Page 73: AIHA Update: Current Initiatives - The Source s/EEI... · •Limitations of environmental resources ... •Quality control •Environmental •Waste management •Facilities engineering](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022043023/5f3ec5499b949b3cfa5beb37/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Process to Gather Input
• Safer Alternative Workshops—Gather Input
• Green Chemistry Wiki
• DTSC website
• In theory, abundant public input

As of Today
• General Agreement on Direction
• Less Alignment on Details and How to Get There
![Page 75: AIHA Update: Current Initiatives - The Source s/EEI... · •Limitations of environmental resources ... •Quality control •Environmental •Waste management •Facilities engineering](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022043023/5f3ec5499b949b3cfa5beb37/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Green Chemistry Proposal— Regulatory Challenges
• California Industrial Hygiene Council (CIHC) commented on proposals 5 times over 1.5 years.
• No front end comprehensive analysis as to overlapping regulatory architecture.
• Stakeholder input sparse even though process could have encouraged more input. Not a broad based feedback loop.
![Page 76: AIHA Update: Current Initiatives - The Source s/EEI... · •Limitations of environmental resources ... •Quality control •Environmental •Waste management •Facilities engineering](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022043023/5f3ec5499b949b3cfa5beb37/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Proposal--Regulatory Challenges
• “Consumer product”—definition?
• Chemical identification & prioritization—”chemicals of concern”. Is ”data gap” same as “data need”?
• Product identification & prioritization—exposure should be critical. Focus on “hazard” vs “risk”.
• Life Cycle Analysis—need broader input, need streamlining.
![Page 77: AIHA Update: Current Initiatives - The Source s/EEI... · •Limitations of environmental resources ... •Quality control •Environmental •Waste management •Facilities engineering](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022043023/5f3ec5499b949b3cfa5beb37/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Proposal—Regulatory Challenges
• Risk assessments (initial thrusts suggested that presence of a chemical a problem). Many models.
• Alternative assessments—one template?
• Heavy bureaucracy—lead assessor certification?
• Cannot regulate innovation—philosophical struggle.
![Page 78: AIHA Update: Current Initiatives - The Source s/EEI... · •Limitations of environmental resources ... •Quality control •Environmental •Waste management •Facilities engineering](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022043023/5f3ec5499b949b3cfa5beb37/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Proposal--Regulatory Challenges
• Toxic Clearinghouse should leverage existing international scientific datasets—not part of original straw proposal dialogue. Staffed by experts?
• What to do with datasets that differ?
• Missing key Leadership Council rep (Cal-OSHA).
![Page 79: AIHA Update: Current Initiatives - The Source s/EEI... · •Limitations of environmental resources ... •Quality control •Environmental •Waste management •Facilities engineering](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022043023/5f3ec5499b949b3cfa5beb37/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Professional Challenges—Future Growth
• Collaborative EHS relationships & competencies— (AAAS, trade groups, insurance, FBI, EU, WHO, ILO, NAS) . Build network!
• Advocacy of good science in regulatory arena. • Operational experience. System emphasis (ISO, 6
sigma, QA). Measurement & analysis of organizational processes. Gain texture.
• Competency--technology communication delivery methods to share EHS skill and information worldwide. Optimize technological tools!
• Development of understandable resources and tools for lay community. Support broader network of stakeholders!
