Hello HP
a high number of similar requests/threads can be found in this FORUM together with corresponding answers.
Please
a.) Refer to Best practise of SAP installing EHS (once again they are mentioned several times in this FORUM)
b.) Specify more precisely the term "EH&S". In most cases the customer must prepare a "roll out" project plan. Basic EH&S installation is based on core customizing. IN most cases the customer needs: (please refer to online help of SAP EH&S to get more details: http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_06/helpdata/en/a5/3adda043be11d188fe0000e8322f96/frameset.htm):
-  EHS& Basic Data and Tools
- EHS Product Safety
- EHS Dangerous goods management
- EHS Hazardous substance management
- in case of international customer: EH&S SVT
- if the customer needs labels (it is assumed that he need): EHS GLM
- and in some cases EH&S Waste is needed on the top.
Preparation of blueprint as well as doing a set up of EH&S Products Safety and Dangerous Goods management can take one year (depending on the availability of ressource on client side). Using the best Practise approach (if customer starts from scratch) help  to reduce efforts; but this is really client specific.
Further on installation (that means time to analyze and implement etc.) depends on the release which the user will use (ECC 6.0 is now best practise with or with EnhPacks). Further on if the customer is "really" an international one solutiones in the area of e.g.:
- SAP product and REACH Compliance Suite
- SAP GTS installations (generally the existing GRC architecture/strategy of SAP might be of interest to the customer/client)
- SAP Components Extension
Hope this helps.
With best regards
C.B.
PS: PLease be informed that SAP (and other companies) is providing additional services which are needed in the EH&S environment (legal data)
