The growth of EHS services and software for emissions regulations, water conservation, waste treatment, worker safety, surveillance, and numerous other environmental health and safety specifications has increased significantly in the past few years as a result of the existence of strict regulations associated with environmental preservation and occupational health and safety. Given that the next four years are predicted to see rapid growth, the EHS consulting sector is anticipated to surpass $8.9 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 7.4 percent for the projection period.
The main factor promoting this growth is the expansion of rules by the administration in different economies around the globe. Since their workers interact with dangerous products and processes on a daily basis, industries like energy and chemicals use EHS (Environment, Health and Safety) programs and services to avert mishaps at the workplace. ASK EHS Engineering & Consultants Pvt. Ltd. (AECPL), a leading EHS consulting firm, is a strong believer in technological advancement, new ways to access data using AI, and innovative service offerings, all of which provide industries access to the quickest and most effective methods for learning and developing skills at all levels to work safely.
The Torchbearer
Opportunities for EHS vendors are anticipated to arise from the adoption of international standards by rising nations and the entry of predictive analytics and IoT into the EHS sector. ASK EHS has always been available for all industrial sectors to assist them in developing a good safety culture at their workplace, which would further enable them in reducing incidents and accidents, make their workplace safer, and achieve their desired safety goals. ASK EHS is committed to continuing working on industry challenges in respect of the EHS Domain.
With unmatched knowledge, a thorough understanding of EHS, and research and technology-led service solutions, ASK EHS Engineering & Consultants Pvt. Ltd. (AECPL) is a pioneer in this domain and has become India's most sought-after EHS service provider. Today, the firm holds the top position in the field of EHS due to its customized problem-solving approach based on demand analysis and specific requirements, particular to the location and industry. “I believe in making a difference in society – to give back to the community/country.
What is required is a long-term sustainable solution. With that in mind, I strive to bring about a safe cultural transformation from the grassroots level. There is a need to make ‘Safety’ a subject as part of the educational curriculum, from junior school to college. A change in mindset regarding safety, when inculcated in a child, will become part of his/her personality and second nature to work safely – not just at the workplace but even in homes – be it workers or homemakers. Then organizations will not have to spend millions of rupees in training their workforce to change their unsafe behavior to safe behavior.
As a leader of a pioneer organization in the field of EHS in India, I am treading on uncharted territory and competing with some of the most successful and iconic global organizations – be it in Capability & Competency Development or safety management consultancy. Not limiting myself to any one particular industry, I am reaching out to organizations in the construction sector, mining, steel industry, and automotive, to name a few, and go a step beyond the scope of work to change the skillset/behavioral mindset of the workers of this country. We continuously strive to achieve an integrated ‘safety vision’ and occupational well-being that industrial construction workplaces strive to achieve, increasing employee
engagement, which has a direct impact on productivity, retention, and customer satisfaction, and enhancing employee potential – reskilling, upskilling, and competency validation.
Furthermore, we are constantly striving to build a ‘growth mindset' within employees and across the organization, improving motivation among employees, and cultivating leadership and emotional intelligence. This is the foundation on which all our training is based all over India and overseas”, shares J K Anand, Founder & Director, ASK EHS Engineering & Consultants Pvt. Ltd. (AECPL).
