OUR STORY: BUILDING A BETTER WORLD SINCE 1988
When OSHA and EPA regulations began to expand in the 1980s, industrial and manufacturing companies needed a better way to address compliance requirements. As business owners themselves, the founders of U.S. Compliance understood the challenges facing this market and the service model required to meet their needs:
- Provide customized, site-specific health & safety compliance and environmental compliance services.
- Include regular on-site visits from a dedicated point of contact who knows your operation and not just the regulations.
- Provide hands-on support as an extension of your team, rather than outside consultants, with the consistency of a predictable flat monthly fee.
- Support from an entire team of EHS professionals with a wide range of expertise in local, state and federal regulations.
- Work in partnership to support multi-site operations across North America with the same level of attention and accountability.
The result was “Compliance as a Service” (CaaS), a revolutionary model delivering environmental, health and safety solutions designed for growing industrial companies. By offering comprehensive, customized EHS compliance services, we not only help you attain but importantly sustain EHS compliance, allowing you to focus on profitable growth and productivity.

"U.S. Compliance is like having 10 employees without having to have something for them to do 40 hours a week. It takes the guesswork out of what regulations we’re subject to and how to implement the training and recordkeeping we’ll need for them."
