Hi Pauline,

These guidelines from the OPCW may help justify the business case for why safety (and security) is important for small-to-medium companies. Check out section 3.6. Though they don't provide information on staffing levels.

Good luck,

Hi All

I'm currently having to justify (yay budget season) why we need an EHS team of 2 (at least). Do any of you have metric, literature, experiences in how to justify staffing an EHS team?

A little background on Finch Therapeutics, where I started 6 months ago:

Currently, the EHS "team" is me. We have 3 sites and will be acquiring a 4th next year. We are a relatively small biotech (~200 employees) with R&D, GMP, and Clinical departments.

I appreciate any insight. A preliminary search yielded very little. Thanks!

Pauline
