SAP EHSM Overview
 With the SAP EHSM solution, you can integrate
environment, health, and safety compliance functions into global
business processes. SAP EHSM supports you in ensuring
compliance for example with regulations for product
safety, hazardous substances, dangerous goods, and waste
management
 Incident Management
 You use the Incident Management component to initially record and then review and
complete incidents, safety observations, and near misses to fulfill your
environment, health, and safety requirements on a regional and global scale.
 Waste Management
 In enterprises of all kinds, substances and objects accumulate that can no longer be
used in the production process and that must be disposed of as waste. The SAP
Waste Management transaction supports you in handling waste disposal
processes, complying with national and international regulations and laws that are
relevant for generation, transport, and disposal, and distributing costs proportionally
among the departments within the enterprise that generated the waste.
 Specification Management
 With the Specification Management component, you create specifications for EHSM
objects such as substances, agents, dangerous goods classifications, waste
codes, and packaging, and assign characteristics to these objects.
