This website is brought to you by the AT&T Environment, Health and Safety (EH&S) Organization. It focuses on the three strategies AT&T uses to improve the environment and keep the workplace safe and healthy: employees, research and technology.

Engaging AT&T employees is critical. Under activities and achievements, for example, you can learn how our award winning employee awareness campaign has helped to inform employees about opportunities to improve the environment in their community through the AT&T CARES program, educate them in how to work more safely, and ensure they are aware of their personal responsibilities for environment, health and safety.

AT&T helps lead the way in research on Industrial Ecology, a multi-disciplinary science which investigates how the economy and the environment can coexist in harmony. AT&T currently awards Industrial Ecology academic fellowships through the AT&T Foundation.

Finally, AT&T technology can be beneficial to the environment. A great example is telework. For example, AT&T employees who telework avoided commuting 87 million miles to the office in 1999, which in turn avoided the emission of over 2.8 billion pounds of carbon monoxide. Telework has many societal, personal and company benefits as well.

We sponsor this site as a community service to help inform our stakeholders, but it includes some fun stuff, too. Spend some time with our educational entertainment. Take the Lost Temple Trivia challenge, test your knowledge in the Survival Safety Game, or explore our  Riptide Adventure.

The EH&S organization is fundamentally responsible for working with other organizations inside AT&T to implement the AT&T Environment, Health and Safety policy. This is done through a management system that has several components:

A Cross-Functional Leadership Team

A cross-functional Leadership Team is composed of representatives from operating units and divisions across AT&T. The team meets regularly to address how EH&S can best meet the needs of the operating units in improving performance, and acts as a governance board for the several other teams within EH&S. These teams are arranged in a plan-do-check-act manner.

The Stakeholder Contact and Needs Analysis (SC&NA) Team

The Stakeholder Contact and Needs Analysis (SC&NA) team manages employee and other stakeholder communications. It also conducts employee research to help create programs to address employee needs.

The Technical Support Team

The Technical Support Team takes input from SC&NA, injury/illness reports, regulation / legislation, and assessments to help create enterprise wide EH&S programs and training material.

Field Support Team

Members of the Field Support Team are assigned to specific states and subjects. Employees can contact the team directly for EH&S service-for example, to request an ergonomic evaluation of a work area. This team implements the programs designed by Engineering.

The Assessment Team

The Assessment team inspects the work processes performed in locations throughout AT&T to ensure that EH&S best practices are in place for a safe and healthful workplace that complies with applicable laws and regulations.
