Challenge
A leading advanced materials manufacturer operating in Utah and Tennessee faced the need to standardize EHS management across multiple sites while preparing for expansion. The company required a unified approach to address complex regulatory obligations (OSHA, MSHA, EPA, state, and local), manage hazardous material risks, and ensure consistent procedures for employees and contractors. Gaps in policy documentation, training, and compliance oversight presented significant operational and legal risks, necessitating a robust, scalable solution.
Results
EHS Compliance Services Inc. delivered a comprehensive EHS policy framework encompassing over thirty critical areas, implemented a structured document management system, and established a clear roadmap for ongoing improvement. The solution enhanced regulatory compliance, streamlined policy enforcement, and strengthened workforce competency through a six-month global policy training program, enabling safe and efficient expansion into new operational territories.

The Challenge
The client, a leader in advanced materials manufacturing, recognized vulnerabilities in their EHS risk management approach, particularly as they prepared to expand operations across state lines. With complex processes involving hazardous materials and rigorous regulatory requirements, the company struggled with inconsistent policies, fragmented documentation, and varying levels of workforce training. These challenges increased the risk of compliance violations, operational disruptions, and safety incidents, making it imperative to implement a standardized, scalable EHS management system.
The Solution
After a thorough evaluation of industry-specific needs and an assessment of potential partners, the company engaged EHS Compliance Services Inc. (EHSCSI) for their proven technical expertise and structured methodology. EHSCSI conducted on-site assessments at both Utah and Tennessee locations, benchmarked existing practices, and identified key regulatory gaps. Leveraging a three-tiered policy framework, EHSCSI developed custom global EHS policies and documentation for over thirty critical areas. The solution included a six-month Global Policy Awareness training program for all employees and recommendations for EHS management software adoption. As one leader noted, “Partnering with Kahlilah and the EHSCSI team was instrumental in helping us develop a robust framework for our EHS management system. Their deep technical expertise and industry knowledge were evident from the start. They provided a structured and systematic approach to EHS management that was both comprehensive and practical. The team's professionalism and commitment to excellence ensured that we achieved our goals efficiently and effectively.”
The Results
The engagement resulted in a fully standardized EHS policy framework deployed across both operational sites, with over 30 critical EHS risk areas addressed. A hierarchical documentation system and clear implementation roadmap streamlined compliance activities and improved oversight. All employees completed the six-month global policy training, establishing a consistent safety culture and operational discipline. These measures fortified regulatory compliance, reduced EHS-related risks, and supported the company’s successful expansion. Key metrics include: Critical EHS Areas: 30+, Training Duration: 6 months, Operational Sites: 2, Policy Frameworks: 3 tiers.
