2024
Erlandsson, Åke | Hogland, William
Since the early 80s has Åke Erlandsson worked with environmental issues in Swedish business. As Environmental Manager in a wood industry company for 20 years I have gained knowledge of environmental issues within the industry. The aim of this presentation is to discuss and present experience of decades of industrial environmental development in the wood industry. The manager experiences and reflections on how the business community can and should handle accidents are given. Three points are found crucial for a company’s actions: 1) Strategy and preparedness for avoiding and managing accidents. 2) Assessment of costs and other financial consequences. 3) Assessment of the impact of external and internal goodwill. The open question for future is what a company make thorough risk assessments and taken into account the prevention of accidents.
