Mobil Global
Services
In 1995 Mobil Oil Corporation
consolidated services groups across E&P, Transportation, Refining,
Chemicals, and Distribution division. These include IT, Medical, Legal,
Accounting, EHS etc - a total of 11 functions.
EHS Management Systems
Bob was assigned to the Executive team for EHS
functionality. One key issue to address was inconsistency and
incompleteness in EHS
Management Systems. In addition, some international groups
used British Standards, others ISO14000 series, and most in the USA used
a mix of industry voluntary standards. Bob's team aligned all of them
into a single, 52-element, EHS Management System
