The New Way That Small Manufacturers Manage OSHA & EPA Compliance & Risk
Achieve Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) compliance & risk reduction using the most comprehensive & cost effective method on the planet!
If so, don’t feel bad because you’re definitely not alone.
These regulations are extensive, complex, hard to understand, ever-changing and even tougher to comply with especially for small manufacturers who almost always lack the resources to keep up.
Regardless of these challenges, compliance is a priority you cannot ignore......
Not knowing which OSHA & EPA regulations apply to your company
Living in constant fear of a failed OSHA or EPA inspection
Worrying about serious employee injuries & accidents
Losing business opportunities due to lack of a safety program
Lacking the expertise, time & resources needed to manage compliance
Repeated failed efforts to manage EHS compliance
Lacking budget to hire qualified EHS manager or expensive consultant
Not knowing where to turn for affordable compliance help
Regulatory fines that can run into the $10's or even $100’s of thousands of dollars
Potential civil and criminal liability for ownership & management
Serious employee injuries and even fatalities
Company reputation damage and public relations problems
Lost customers and business opportunities
Increased costs and wasted money
Founder of Berg Compliance Solutions and Small Business EHS Compliance Advocate and Expert
I understand your compliance struggles all too well because I owned and operated three small, high risk companies with major environmental, health and safety obligations.
Between the three companies, I had to manage OSHA, EPA, TCEQ, and DOT regulations. It was overwhelming and I always struggled to keep up which lead to all kinds of problems including fines, lost business opportunities , wasted money and many sleepless nights.
One of the things I learned was that I wasn't alone. I saw many other small companies and people throughout my career also struggle and pay the price for failing to manage EHS including huge fines, PR nightmares and even jail time.
Most of these stories impacted small manufacturers, a sector I've supported for over 23 years.
These experiences later inspired me to found Berg Compliance Solutions, a new kind of consulting company dedicated to helping small businesses manage EHS compliance & risk.
The "Old" Way vs. The "New" Way
The "Old" Way - Traditional "done-for-you" consulting consists of turn-key, on-site services delivered by an expert consultant who manages everything on behalf of the customer. We've been deploying this model for years with great success, however the major disadvantage is that the customer often ends up becoming dependent on the consultant because they never learn or understand the compliance process. This dependency and lack of understanding prevents the customer from ever "owning" or self-managing the process, so if the consulting service ends the EHS program quickly falls apart.
The "New" Way - Guided Compliance is a revolutionary new virtual consulting approach which focusses on training customer staff on the regulations and how to manage them in a way that non-experts can easily understand and follow. This provides a new option for small manufacturers looking for a "Do-It-Yourself," cost-effective and reliable solution for managing their EHS compliance responsibilities. Guided Compliance removes the complexity from EHS so that customers are able to "self-manage" and "own" the compliance process over time. This is the best way to help ensure long term EHS program success for the customer.
