Regulatory Compliance Professionals.

Strategic Environmental Compliance (SEC) provides conventional and non-conventional environmental services such as environmental air, water and waste permitting, environmental site assessments, due diligence assessments and multi-media compliance audits. SEC also provides an Environmental Management System (EMS) Development Program including a comprehensive qualitative waste stream analysis of all or some of the main process components. Further, SEC can also provide abbreviated or truncated multi-media compliance audits called a SEC Environmental Compliance Evaluation (ECEcopyright) at about half of the cost of a multi-media compliance audit. In so doing, SEC evaluates high regulatory risk exposure areas and prioritizes those relative to the remaining regulatory areas as a function of regulatory compliance risk.

The main differentiator between SEC and other environmental consulting companies is that all SEC professional staff have a minimum of twenty (20) years of experience in their area of expertise. SEC does not train our professionals on your project!!!

All we need from you, is the objective, the file and the deadline for your project.

A Systems Approach – At SEC, our Mission Statement is to provide corporations and companies better, faster, simpler and more economical approaches for all areas of regulatory compliance. In other words, we use a more common sense and pragmatic approach to compliance. The end result is to determine the cause and effect systematically. A “Quality Management System” provides this result and prevents the reoccurrence of noncompliance in all areas of regulation with OSHA, DOT, Coast Guard, MMS, EPA and other regulatory agencies.

This allows management and workers to proactively recognize, evaluate and control SHQ issues before they become a significant company risk and in turn a financial liability. This approach encompasses the Continuous Improvement philosophy popular with most corporations today.

SEC’s experienced and qualified professionals will develop written programs, which are site specific and mutually agreed on by the client. Once implemented and communicated, required training can be conducted to ensure that employees are aware of the program’s contents and regulatory requirements. Audits and reviews can then be conducted to verify the implementation and effectiveness of the program.

Safety, Health & Quality – Customized training and miscellaneous services currently available to our clients include the following:

In short, SEC can provide and solve all of your safety and health requirements in the most cost effective manner by some of the most experienced professionals in the field at half the cost of most consulting firms.
