## **Situation** 

The client is a 40+ year-old company specializing in the manufacture and distribution of industrial cleaning products, concrete and asphalt removal agents, and other chemical-based solutions. With multiple production and distribution facilities and a growing national presence, the company recognized the need to evaluate and strengthen its Environmental, Health and Safety (EH&S) practices.

The organization engaged OCCU-TEC to conduct a comprehensive review of its existing EH&S systems, using the firm’s MESH services (Managed Environmental, Safety & Health) framework. OCCU-TEC’s objective was to identify regulatory compliance gaps, mitigate risk and position the company for sustainable growth in both operations and acquisitions.

## **Challenges**

The client faced several interrelated challenges that prompted the engagement:

 

## **Scope of Services**

OCCU-TEC’s work with the organization was conducted under its MESH services program and delivered in multiple phases from 2022 to the present:

|   | - **Initial EH&S Assessment (2022)**: OCCU-TEC conducted site inspections at two production facilities and several distribution centers. The assessment included: - On-site reviews of physical infrastructure, chemical storage and safety equipment - Interviews with employees across multiple departments and levels of seniority - A full evaluation of existing EH&S documentation and procedures - A gap analysis of environmental regulatory compliance vs. current practices |
| --- | --- |
|   | - **Program Development (2023)**: Based on the assessment findings, OCCU-TEC worked closely with company leadership team to: - Draft a new, comprehensive EH&S plan tailored to the company’s operations - Standardize policies and procedures across all departments and facilities - Ensure the plan met applicable OSHA and EPA requirements - Outline employee responsibilities, training needs and escalation protocols |
|   | - **Permit Evaluation and Compliance**: OCCU-TEC completed detailed applicability assessments to determine which permits the client needed at both state and federal levels. This included: - Wastewater discharge permitting - Air emissions permitting and reporting thresholds - Documentation and submittal assistance for regulatory approval |
|   | - **Ongoing Support (2024–Present)**: With the EH&S program complete, OCCU-TEC continues to provide: - Implementation support and policy rollout assistance to managers and staff - Regulatory updates and compliance monitoring - EH&S evaluations and integration support for newly acquired facilities across the United States |

## **Solutions & Execution**

OCCU-TEC’s approach was rooted in its MESH methodology, which emphasizes both compliance and culture. Rather than simply delivering a binder of policies, the OCCU-TEC team partnered with the client’s EH&S manager to embed safety practices into day-to-day operations.

Key milestones and actions included:

- Conducting real-time walkthroughs at each site and identifying high-risk areas for immediate correction
- Consolidating scattered and outdated safety protocols into a single, well-organized EH&S manual
- Hosting collaborative sessions with staff to ensure buy-in and long-term ownership of the new policies
- Providing ongoing coaching and consultation for the organization’s EH&S leadership as the program scaled
- Assisting with documentation, submission and approval of relevant environmental permits

This work ensured that the organization could confidently manage compliance obligations while also building a proactive safety culture across all departments, from manufacturing and shipping to corporate leadership.
