About Our Organization The EHS Network (Environmental Health Safety Network) is a local group of employees, safety and health professionals, business', and manufacturers who have joined together to form a group promoting all aspects of safety that relate to our daily operations.  Greetings, Does your company, business or organization ever fear or wonder what government regulations they may have over looked or don’t even know about?  Have you ever wondered if you are in compliance with environmental, health, or safety regulations?   These issues require knowledge, attention, and resources, which are a challenge for many groups regardless of the nature of the business or size of their company. Environmental Health Safety Network serving Central Kansas We believe that responsibility for Environmental, Health and Safety issues must be driven to the employee level and integrated into our daily operations to be successful.  Therefore a group was formed in 1999 to promote all aspects of safety as they relate to our daily operations.  We believe that training and education is a key element of a successful Safety and Health Management System.  Regular monthly meetings were established for members to network with others in their related industries. Over the past several years, we have invited local specialists, Kansas's regulatory agencies, and even Federal agencies to present on topics of interest to our members. Topics vary, but in general, programs have come about because of interests or requests of those attending. Meetings have been held at "Host" companies:  The Hayes Company, Lee Aerospace, AGCO Corporation, Excel Industries, or Mid KS Coop, and Hardwood Companies.  The meetings are free, and usually have been limited to one-hour sessions, unless a special presentation is taking place.  It is the intent to make you aware of these meetings and invite any interested individuals in your organization to attend. We’ve tried to make the meetings so that managers, supervisors, or hourly employees serving your Safety/Health Team could be better informed. Our goals are simple…provide educational opportunities that help us do our jobs while learning the facts and staying in compliance dealing with environment, health, or safety concerns. Operation of this group is without a budget so there are no yearly fees or membership required. Members occasionally volunteer, as there are needs. If you have additional questions or would like to request information on topics or dates for future meetings please contact the EHS Network by clicking on our email link on our homepage. We welcome you to join us in our efforts to promote a Cleaner Environment and a Safer Workplace, through training and education.   Sincerely, Environmental Health Safety Network Team Christy, Lee Aerospace - Wichita, 316-636-9200, EHS Network Coordinator Mick, AGCO Corporation - Hesston, 620-327-6261, EHS Network Planning Committee Nancy, Hardwood Companies – Burrton, EHS Network Planning Committee Debbie, Safety Specialist, KDOL, EHS Network Coordinator Bob, AGCO Corporation - Hesston, EHS Network Coordinator Site created by Deborah 1999 for © EHS Network Updated December 29, 2008 Sign Guestbook  or    View Guestbook
