Ospreys

The Osprey River facility is about to undergo a revolution Osprey River has been selected for a pilot study to integrate all aspects of EHS into a single management system. This is the first stage of what will be a company-wide project. The pilot project will b e used to test the design and installation strategies and to firm up the costs and benefits of the overall project. 

Al Bickman, Osprey River site manager, expects the work on the pilot study to start next month and be completed within 12 weeks. He has established a local team of managers, engineers, and operators to work with the integration team. Most of this team will be committed for up to half of their time. The team leader will be dedicated to the project. 

Al is convinced that Osprey River will benefit from the integration. As a small site, most ESH issues are managed part-time by staff who are easily diverted by their other responsibilities. He expects the new systems to reduce the time required to manage ESH, while at the same time providing systems that will manage more effectively.

In the aftermath of the DDT bans, many bird populations recovered. Robins, bald eagles, ospreys, and peregrine falcons returned to old nesting grounds. The use of other pesticides continued unabated, however. By 1999, American farmers were using one billion pounds of pesticides and herbicides yearly every dollar spent on pesticides seemed to save 4 in crops.
