DCG Session 24: Environmental Health & Safety (EHS)

Session 24: Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) — This video explains how to build and govern an EHS program for data centers to eliminate or minimize environmental impact and occupational risk while meeting statutory compliance. It covers policy and legal baselines, hazard identification and risk assessment (HIRA), method statements and permits to work, contractor controls, PPE, training and drills, waste handling, spill response, and emergency preparedness. The session links EHS metrics and audits to continuous improvement, aligning people, processes, and technology so construction and operations remain safe, compliant, and sustainable across the facility lifecycle.
