Environmental, Health, & Safety (EHS) Program

So much to do, so little time!

Most facilities are faced with complying with a variety of federal, state, and local environmental rules and regulations ranging from hazardous waste, to storm water and wastewater, to air quality standards. As operations are often stretching personnel resources; EHS compliance issues may be handled by staff with multiple responsibilities and limited time to fully understand the regulations; much less to manage compliance requirements.

Sigma will assist in a variety of ways, from specific media assignments to providing on-site personnel as an outsource for environmental services. Sigma has staff dedicated to understanding the rules and the agencies' perspective as we work with the regulated community to achieve consistent compliance with reasonable approaches.
