Environmental Management Systems (EMS) need to be maintained in order to recognize a return on investment from your environmental, health, and safety programs.  Since 1980, our programs have encouraged our clients to be proactive rather than reactive:

• Recognize that federal, state, and local environmental regulations are minimum requirements and the time is right for management to go "beyond compliance."

• In addition to "keeping up" with regulatory requirements, you need to "keep up" with your competition.

• Are you considering the requirements of the ISO 14001 international environmental standard?

• Do you discuss worker safety and health in the corporate boardroom?

• Is your environmental, health, and safety management program centralized (i.e., corporate management oversight) or decentralized?  Which one is right for you...?

• Are your EMS personnel involved in the planning stage of any new project?

• Do you have environmental, health, and safety resources (internal and external) available locally?

• Do you interact with your local community (i.e., outside the plant) on issues relating to environmental issues?
