The automotive manufacturing industry plays a crucial role in global economic development, but it faces significant challenges related to environmental health and safety (EHS) practices. This review highlights the importance of EHS practices in mitigating environmental impact, ensuring workplace safety, and complying with regulatory standards. Effective EHS practices are essential for managing environmental sustainability, including waste management, emissions reduction, and resource conservation. The adoption of eco-friendly technologies and processes, such as renewable energy integration and material recycling, contributes to the industry's environmental stewardship. Workplace safety is also a priority due to the inherently hazardous nature of automotive manufacturing, with initiatives focusing on risk assessment, hazard identification, and preventive measures. Compliance with regulatory standards is a cornerstone of EHS management, ensuring operational legality and enhancing corporate reputation. By integrating robust EHS practices, automotive manufacturers can uphold their commitment to environmental stewardship and social accountability while maintaining operational efficiency and competitiveness in the global market.The automotive manufacturing industry plays a crucial role in global economic development, but it faces significant challenges related to environmental health and safety (EHS) practices.
