Challenge

Leadership identified potential gaps in their current processes and understood that non-compliance could expose the organization to significant penalties, reputational damage, and operational disruptions. To address these concerns, Caribou Biosciences made a strategic decision to thoroughly evaluate and strengthen its adherence to environmental, health, and safety regulations at the federal, state, and local levels, with the aim of protecting both its workforce and corporate reputation.

“EHSCSI performed a Regulatory Audit for us. The goals were very clear from the beginning. The audit was well prepared, and requested all documentation ahead of time. The detail in which we were audited was comprehensive and thorough. We were audited on Local, Regional, State, and Federal Regulations, and how they applied to our site, with an Applicability Assessment. The Audit findings were clear and clearly stated which Regulations they refer to. Overall, I highly recommend EHSCSI, they are very professional, accurate, and reliable.”
