What does QHSE mean?
QHSE stands for Quality, Health, Safety and Environment. It’s a global approach aimed at guaranteeing product and service quality, employee safety, environmental protection and regulatory compliance. Using an interim management firm is a strategic solution for companies seeking to improve their performance and grow sustainably.
What are the principles of QHSE?
QHSE is a constantly evolving field, and it’s important to keep abreast of the latest trends and innovations. This will enable organizations to remain competitive and meet the expectations of their customers and partners.
- 1
Management commitment: management must be fully committed and demonstrate leadership in QHSE. This means defining a clear policy, setting ambitious targets and providing the necessary resources.
- 2
Design training programs tailored to business needs, so that teams can adapt more easily to new working methods, technologies or organizational cultures.
- 3
Continuous improvement: the quest for continuous improvement is a pillar of QHSE. This is an ongoing process designed to identify areas for improvement, implement corrective actions and prevent accidents and incidents.

Employee involvement: the active participation of all employees is essential to the success of QHSE. It’s important to make them aware of the issues at stake, train them and give them a sense of responsibility.

Risk management: QHSE identifies, assesses and manages potential risks associated with the company’s activities, to prevent accidents and incidents.

Regulatory compliance: ensuring compliance with current laws, regulations and standards in the fields of quality, health, safety and the environment.
How do you set up a QHSE policy?
Understanding today’s challenges
Before getting started, it’s essential to understand the current state of QHSE practices within the organization. The interim manager can gather information on existing processes, policies in place and any problems or challenges encountered.
Communicating and involving
It is essential to communicate clearly and regularly with all stakeholders (employees, customers, suppliers, etc.) on the objectives of the QHSE policy, the changes underway and the implications for everyone.
Adapt QHSE policy
The existing QHSE policy needs to be revised and adapted to take account of the changes brought about by the transition. This means defining clear, measurable and realistic objectives, and setting up performance indicators to monitor the policy’s progress and effectiveness.
Training and support
Staff must be trained in the new QHSE requirements and procedures. The interim manager is there to provide the necessary tools and resources so that employees can take ownership of the policy and apply it on a daily basis.
Measure and improve
This includes setting up a reporting and data analysis system to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments.
