| Abstract: | The authors surveyed SHE Practice in 242 companies of 8 West-African countries. The survey demonstrated that: i) the overall performances are poor, although significant improvement can be achieved with a minimum of goodwill and management support. ii) despite financial difficulties faced by small and medium enterprises (SME), SHE management is a must and should start with a pollution prevention program that will vary with individual needs but some conscious planning effort is always necessary. iii) it is necessary to prepare for appropriate actions for pollution abatement, adapted to the existing and future production facilities. |
