Title: Integrated environmental, health and safety management; The outcome of the `Necessary and Sufficient Process`

Abstract

This paper presents a paradigm for integrating the many facets of ES&H management based on the necessary and sufficient control of hazards and the resulting risks through a systems approach. The paradigm answers the question ``What is the best approach to managing ES&H to increase value, reduce risk, and improve satisfaction?`` Hazard identification is the foundation of integrated ES&H management. Knowledge of risk is essential to the necessary and sufficient management of risk. A systems approach to identifying and managing risks is essential in achieving integrated ES&H management. Feedback is discussed. The objectives can be applied to the function of risk management using the ``Know, Understand, Manage and Document`` paradigm. The organizational structure is crucial to the success of integrated ES&H management.
