The full form of SHE is the Safety(S), Health(H) and Environment(E). It is an acronym for the group that studies and puts into practice the practical aspects of preserving the environment and ensuring health and safety at work. Simply, it is what organisations must do to ensure that their actions do not damage anyone. Effective SHE programs also address ergonomics, air quality, and other workplace safety issues that may have an impact on employees and the general public's health and well-being.
Some regulatory agencies are also formed that govern worker safety and health, as well as environmental releases.
From a safety point of view, it consists of developing systematic measures and procedures for recognising workplace risks, minimising accidents, and protecting workers from harmful circumstances and substances. Also, it involves instructing staff members in emergency planning, accident response, and the usage of safety clothing and clothes.
From the health point of view, better health should focus on creating environmentally friendly, high-quality, and safe procedures, working methods, and systemic activities that decrease or remove the risk of harm to users, operators, or patients.
From an environmental point of view, it involves developing a systematic approach to complying with environmental requirements, such as controlling waste or air pollutants, all the way to helping sites in decreasing the company's carbon footprint.

SHE also stands for Standard Hydrogen Electrode. It refers to the redox electrode that is the base of the thermodynamic scale of oxidation-reduction potentials and is used by scientists as a reference for all half-cell potential reactions. It has the ability to act as both a cathode and anode half-cell. At 25 °C, its standard oxidation and reduction potential values are both zero.
SHE also stands for stockholders equity or shareholders equity. It is defined as the number of assets left in a company after all liabilities have been settled. It is determined as the capital contributed to a company by its shareholders, along with donated capital and earnings produced by the company's operations, less any dividends issued.
