Environmental and Safety Compliance

I can't tell you how many times potential clients have asked me about "Going Green" and immediately want to discuss sustainable business strategies, such as recycling, planting trees, etc. My first response is to ask whether they are compliant with all of the required environmental compliance requirements. The typical response is either "yes" or an inquisitive look. Based upon my experience, many facilities are not fully compliant with the numerous environmental compliance programs that are applicable to their operations. They are not willfully violating these requirements, but they just do not realize what all the requirements are that affect them! There are regulations that may be applicable related to boilers, chemicals, waste disposal, storage of oil related products, underground storage tanks and the list goes on. This is why it is difficult to be fully compliant. So where should you start? Step back and perform a full environmental compliance audit. If you need help with that, call me at 317.916.3105.
