FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • EHS consultants can provide technical support during EHS staff restructuring or during periods where business production or growth requires more resources than are available to meet internal occupational health, safety, or environmental staffing requirements. You should consider hiring an EHS consult if you are unsure of how to proceed in the following situations: ¥ A worker is injured, are you prepared to investigate the incident and understand the root cause of the event? Do you know if you need to call OSHA? ¥ An officer from OSHA or the US EPA or state environmental agencies’ officer visits your site for a routine site inspection or after an injury or chemical release to the environment. Do you have a plan for touring the officer through your site? Do you know where all the logs and records are maintained? Are these logs and records maintained as required by the applicable regulations? An employee tells her supervisor that she is feeling ill after working all day, but feels much better each morning before arriving at the workplace. Do you know what the health hazards are of the substances the employee works with and the routes of exposure to the substance? Could the workplace building be a source of hazards from mold or emissions from paint or from other materials of construction? How would you respond?

  • Select an EHS consultant that is part of a team that provides high-quality, reliable EHS consulting and training services. Look for the longevity of staff in the organization – this indicates a commitment to core values and competence within the overall team.

    Ask for recent references who have direct knowledge relating to the consultant’s experience in the requested services. Contact the references.

    Request a resume for every team member that will provide you with technical support. Look for a staff of highly-trained professionals. All senior project managers should be Certified Industrial Hygienists, Certified Safety Professionals, or Certified Hazardous Materials Managers. All support EHS Staff should hold degrees in the environmental or applied sciences from well-established university programs.

    Ask for evidence of the senior and staff consultants’ claimed certifications as they should be able to provide a certificate.

    Talk with the consultant – they should be solution-driven, innovative, and technically excellent to meet compliance goals. Ensure that the EHS consultant’s goals align with your company’s goals and values.
