English term or phrase: SHEQ
What would de acronym of SHEQ be in Spanish?

Context (from a survey): "How do you rate the sharing of SHEQ best practice and success across this company?"
"I am aware of where to find the company´s SHEQ information, procedures and processes."

I know that SHEQ stands for "Safety Health Environment Quality", and that the Spanish translation is "Seguridad, Salud, Medio Ambiente y Calidad". But this seems a long translation to me, my text always mentions SHEQ. Is there an acronym in Spanish, or I could use the English term?
I have also found HSE, a similar term, translated as "Gestión de riesgos", or simplye HSE. Would these be a suitable translation?

Any help is greatly appreciated

  -> Thanks, Rachel. Have a nice weekend.

agree  Charles Davis: On balance I think I'd use this. It's standard and will be instantly recognised. On the other hand, it omits "Health". I've commented on this in the discussion area.
