环境、健康和安全管理指标的描述性模型
在很多其他事情中,系统管理要求对实际系统的状态和发展趋势有一个,彻底和持续的理解。为此,管理者需要依靠系统优缺点的描述和解释模型。这么做的其中一个方法就是指标。
在管理科学的见证下,环境健康和安全(EHS)在管理(金融、经济、法律)的所有领域取得广泛发展,同时又使用了指标进行处理。
人们可以在文献中发现关于怎样发展和使用EHS管理指标的多种参考资料和指南。虽然未经详尽调查,但OECD, IAEA,和CCPS 是众所周知的国际指南建议发布的例子,这些建议都是关于普遍或专业商业领域的,包括部分EHS领域。在本文中我们将看到,对于决策者而言尤为困难的是在大量的参考资料和指标中挑选出适用于他们组织的正确指标。我们还将看到,这个选择过程的主要困难是评估指标的相关性时要考虑的多种多样的尺寸规格。这个模型将呈现我们认为对每个EHS指标都必要的描述特征,以此来帮助决策者回答一个简单的问题:这个指标对我们组织好还是不好?

Descriptive Model of Indicators for Environment, Health
and Safety Management
Chabane Mazri*a, Aleksander Jovanovicb, Daniel Balosc
Management of systems requires, amongst many other things, a thorough and continuous
understanding of the actual system’s state and its development trends. To do so, managers need to rely on both descriptive and explicative models of the system’s strengths and weaknesses. One of the means to do so are indicators.
Widely developed in all areas of management (financial, economic, logistics), Environment Health and Safety (EHS), seen by management science, are also to be approached using indicators.
One can find in literature multiple references and guidelines on how to develop and/or use indicators for EHS management. Without being exhaustive, OECD, IAEA, and CCPS are examples of well known international guidelines suggesting indicators for various or specific business areas regarding all or some of the EHS dimensions. In this paper, we will see that it is particularly difficult for decision makers to select the right indicators for their organization amongst dozens of various references and hundreds of indicators. We will also see that the main difficulty in this selection process is the multiple dimensions to be considered when assessing the relevance of an indicator.
