ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH, & SAFETY (EHS)

ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH, AND SAFETY (EHS) is defined as a multidisciplinary field and organizational framework that focuses on protecting human health, preserving the natural environment, and preventing workplace accidents. These standards, laws, rules, and principles are intended to keep people safe from injury or disease at work and in public places.

Scrap metal processing can create risks when materials are improperly collected, handled, transported, sorted, processed, or stored. Effective EHS practices help identify hazards early, prevent injuries, reduce releases to the environment, and improve day-to-day operations.

At FERIS, we encourage scrap metal recyclers and related industry participants to make health, safety, and environmental responsibility a core part of their operations. We believe responsible scrap metal recycling should include safe working conditions, pollution prevention, proper material handling, and strong environmental practices.

Responsible scrap metal recycling recovers valuable materials while protecting people, property, and the environment.
