Facility & Compliance Audits

We understand the facility compliance challenges you face.

An objective assessment of the compliance of a company or facility with applicable environmental laws and regulations is based on a review of pertinent records and technical data. The audit is generally undertaken to assure compliance with federal, state, and local regulations and reduce environmental risks and liabilities. Internal pressure companies to cut costs, combined with new regulatory programs and enforcement trends are placing new facility compliance challenges on organizations of all sizes. In today’s business environment, the risks of non-compliance are significant, particularly in the areas of individual and corporate criminal and civil liability.
