Key changes in the procedure

Revision 2: Changes in Organisation structure.

The 2015/16 EHS structure was BU driven with EHS BU heads, managing BU by BU.
This has now been changed and is to run on regional /cluster level. The EHS
structure has been developed to provide a robust management framework with
clear functional and administrative reporting lines in the 3 clusters.
