Verizon’s environmental, health and safety management system provides a framework for identifying, controlling, and reducing the risks associated with the environments in which we operate. Besides regular management system assessments, internal and third-party compliance audits and inspections are performed annually at hundreds of facilities worldwide. The goal of these assessments is to identify and correct site-specific issues, and to educate and empower facility managers and supervisors to implement corrective actions. Verizon’s environment, health and safety efforts are directed and supported by experienced experts around the world that support our operations and facilities.
