The largest annual global survey of environment, health and safety directors says that EHS budgets will increase by an average of 5.4% in 2018. This is according to a survey of 382 EHS directors by independent research firm Verdantix in 31 countries and 25 industries worldwide.
About four in ten (42%) of the ISHN subscribers surveyed in the 2015 EHS State of the Nation poll say their safety and health resource allocation will increase in 2015; 53% say resource allocation will hold steady with 2014 funding levels; and only 5% say resources will be cut.
