An Innovative Turn-Key Regulatory Compliance and Training Program
Over the past 20 years HS&E has developed a Turn-Key Regulatory Management Program that is based on the following principles:
- Many companies are overwhelmed by the number of regulations that apply to their operation and the complexity of implementing these requirements.
- Since complying with regulations is a part of doing business these requirements must be managed regardless of the size of your staff or your business.
- Regulatory agencies are not the only ones concerned about compliance programs. Suppliers, customers and trade associations also require a company to be in compliance and are using this as a basis for whom they do business with.
- Unfortunately, many companies deal with regulations in a reactive and not a proactive way, spending way too much time on determining how to implement a compliance strategy while never developing a lasting approach.
- The result is reporting being completed on a last-minute basis with most of the effort focusing on the deadline and not on what is actually being submitted.
- In addition, training deadlines get missed and records are not managed in an “audit-friendly” manner.
A company can save time and money if it thinks innovatively about how to manage their regulatory compliance programs.
The HS&E program is an innovative approach that has already yielded measurable results for many businesses.
The CAP utilizes a four-phased methodology that will save you time and money and provide you the peace of mind to focus on your business, while being assured that you are always in compliance!
