EH & S Management Systems

Enbridge's Environmental Management Systems (EMS) and Health and Safety Management Systems (H&SMS) are at the forefront of our commitment to environmental protection and environmental, health and safety excellence

The EMS and H&SMS are dynamic, multi-faceted systems of policies, programs and procedures for managing the environmental, socioeconomic, and health and safety issues related to pipeline design, construction, operation and decommissioning. They are tools to concisely document principles and systems already in place, as well as forward-looking action plans.

Both of these systems establish an integrated environment, health and safety management framework for the entire Enbridge Transportation Group North. They are the base from which individual operating units develop specific practices, procedures, and programs. In this way, sound environment, health and safety management can be tailored to the various geographic and operational environments in which Enbridge operates.

Enbridge's EMS largely parallel the ISO 14000 international standard for environmental management systems, since this standard sets a clear and widely accepted framework for environmental management based on accepted business management principles.
