Hi all
Has anyone found a "sexy" acronym or title for what occupational safety health and environment is?
I'm being pressured to become "SHE" but have never liked it!
Any good ones I'd be very glad to hear from you.

Stuart,
The only variation that you might not have thought of incorporating is "QHSE" Advisor or Manager.....adjust to suit.
It basically stands for Quality, Health, Safety and Environment. Its a term highly used in the offshore oil industry, however not much different to onshore when you think about it!!! I feel quality is a good word to incorporate......
I hope this helps......maybe I'm well off the mark!!
Dave.

A 'sexy' (or any other kind of) acronym or title for a statutory responsibility at work is inevitably related to the dominant culture of the organisation.
You can choose one to either challenge the culture or to illustrate and reinforce it.
In addition to the standard ones, the words 'wellbeing' and 'mindfulness' are sometimes used; in the right culture, they 'work' as they express shared values. Elsewhere, they wouldn't or don't.

I can see why you would want to use an acronum because 'Safety, Health and Environment' is a bit of a mouthfull. However, you'll have to explain what it stands for anyway - so isn't it better to call it 'Safety, health & Environment? - sort of does what it says on the tin.

The MOD use "SHEF" (Safety, Health, Environment & Fire) it caused confusion in the begining as most people thought it had something to do with catering.

Did a similar exercise whilst trying to pass the time at in a hotel bar before returning home the following day. A female colleague and I came up with loads of silly acronyms, mostof which were instantly forgettable but these 2 stick for some reason.
Health Environmental Risk Observer
and
Works Health Occcupational Risk Environmental Safety
I apologise.....it was late and we probably had tooo much to drink, but we laughed at the time!!

"Safety, health, environment and ergonimics practitioner" is an unfortunate word order.
However, SHEQ (She - Queue)sounds professional.

Seems to me the common denominator is that all QUENSH disciplines lay down standards, be they customer, internally, or externally driven.
Therefore simply 'Standards adviser'.

Thanks to everyone who responded.
As H&S should be all encompassing I came up (eventually) with Welfare, Health, Occupational Safety and Environment. But it still isn't very memorable!
With Thanks

Les, this sounds very similar to the acronym used by the MOD (see my post above)
