Improve Operational Performance

Effective management of Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) requirements is necessary for maintaining productive, sustainable operations. A sound EHS compliance and management program provides a means to avert problems and delays, reduce liability, avoid costs, and present a positive image to the community. To that end, environmental and safety audits are effective tools for understanding, evaluating, and verifying EHS compliance, EHS management systems, EHS initiatives, as well as liabilities and risks.

Compliance Assessments

Cost-effective evaluations of facility requirements for:

  • Inspection
  • Monitoring
  • Permitting
  • Record-keeping
  • Reporting
  • Training
  • Written programs (spill plans, emergency plans, pollution prevention plans)
  • Other practices (chemical storage, hazard assessments, exposure evaluations)

As your single source for conducting EHS compliance assessments, The Sigma Group provides:

  • Experienced staff along with well developed regulatory agency relationships
  • Qualified staff dedicated to understanding regulations and client perspectives
  • Industrial process knowledge

In addition to EHS compliance assessments, Sigma conducts the following types of audits/evaluations:

  • Carbon Footprint Assessments: Determine Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in equivalent CO2 in accordance with GHG Protocol

  • Site Assessments: Due diligence to determine environmental liabilities and risks associated with owning real estate
  • TSDF / Contractor Audit: Assess status of facilities / firms and determine risk / liability

Basic Assessment Steps:
