The NEMA Carbon/Manufactured Graphite Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) Committee informs and advises Carbon/Manufactured Graphite Section member companies about existing and impending legislative and regulatory EHS initiatives that affect their operations.

Goals:

• Inform and advise the NEMA Carbon/Manufactured Graphite Section companies about existing and impending environmental, health, and safety policies, laws, and regulations that affect the industry
• Coordinate and provide leadership for section actions necessary to respond to federal, state and global EHS initiatives
• Be the voice of the carbon/manufactured graphite industry before various federal, state, and international legislative and regulatory bodies
• Represent the industrys concerns before standards-setting and non-governmental bodies addressing EHS issues of real or potential concern to carbon/manufactured graphite producers

Strategies:

• Actively engage with federal, state, and international rulemaking bodies to ensure that laws and regulations reflect industry concerns
• Assume an active role on EHS matters before all standards-setting and non-governmental entities
• Define and pursue all industry EHS interests and positions on pertinent documents affecting carbon/manufactured graphite products

These strategies are executed by monitoring all EHS activities impacting the industry to identify key trends and issues. Under NEMA staff leadership, the Carbon/Manufactured Graphite EHS Committee identifies regulatory schedules and issues to be addressed, working to formulate consensus positions with all interested parties, associations, and industries. In addition, execution of these strategies depends on NEMA member company representatives participation in the public dialogue on EHS issues impacting their products and the issuance of timely and technically supportable industry views on key issues.
