August Mack Environmental has had a very successful 2012. Part of that success has been the continued growth in the Compliance Assurance Program (eCAP). This program has been implemented at a number of new facilities throughout the year. Many of these facilities did not have the dedicated in-house expertise to handle the various environmental obligations. eCAP has been the answer to solving this shortfall. If you want to learn more about the program, call Mike Ogburn at 317-916-3111.

Because the days when people work for one company over the course of their career are a thing of the past, managing personnel changes can be challenging. Not discounting the loss of institutional knowledge, there can be problems with compliance deficiencies if a smooth transition is not made between environmental, health and safety (EH&S) personnel. Unfortunately, there typically is no transition period and in some cases a gap of months while the position remains vacant. When this happens, what...
