Environmental Management Systems’ (EMS) goals and practices create a safer and healthier environment for your employees and the local community. Further, EMS involves establishing environmental objectives through consistent review, evaluation, and improved environmental performance.
EMS also brings many different environmental requirements spanning federal, state, and local government, air, water, land, etc., into one management system. As a result, you will improve the efficiencies and meet regulatory deadlines. When that occurs, your relationship with the government agencies will improve as well.

EHS Compliance Audits
You will benefit from an unbiased EHS Compliance Program Audit. Audits ensure EHS decisions are not influenced by the past, hierarchy within the organization, or personal agendas.
A third-party Environmental Health and Safety Compliance Audit is a great resource to ensure the effectiveness of your EHS programs. At Rindt McDuff Associates, we serve as an unbiased, neutral party that will help determine if your compliance program effectively fulfills the regulatory requirements.
EHS Regulatory Reporting
Regulatory reporting is time-consuming, and each type has its own deadlines and requirements. Therefore, it helps to have an experienced RMA Environmental Health and Safety specialist helping you to avoid costly mistakes.
These days, regulatory agencies require report submission through complicated online systems. By the time you learn the procedures and submit the report, you realize it was more time-consuming than the original hard-copy submittals.
That’s why it’s much easier for companies to hand over their regulatory reporting to an experienced RMA specialist than to focus on non-core competencies. Also, outsourcing is more cost-effective than eating up your staff’s time.
