  Eh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Eh?" used to solicit agreement or confirmation is also heard regularly amongst speakers in Australia (where it is sometimes spelled "ay" on the assumption that "eh" would rhyme with "heh" or "meh").
Since usage of the word "eh" is not common in the United States as it is in Canada, it is often used by Americans to parody Canadian English.
Eh is also used in Italian spoken language to express surprise or misunderstanding, but also as a general word for turning an affirmation into a question.

 Integrating EH&S into Process Design
Rather than incorporating environmental, health and safety (EH&S) requirements and goals at a point in the development cycle where they virtually always add costs and produce delays, experience has shown that early consideration of EH&S issues as an integral part of the design process can achieve cost savings and improve time to market.
Although EH&S issues are not traditionally included in the early stages of current process development processes, a lot of time is still spent on these issues.
Integrated EH&S metrics and the use of EH&S metrics concurrently with other performance measures should provide a much better picture of the predicted performance for a new process or for different alternatives under consideration.
