Environmental Audits

Sailer Environmental, Inc. has extensive experience in performing environmental audits to assess our industrial and commercial clients’ compliance with a broad range of environmental laws and regulations. SEI's staff has conducted environmental audits of manufacturing plants, chemical and petrochemical facilities, R&D laboratories and RCRA hazardous waste (TSD) facilities in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Texas, Louisiana, Maryland, Indiana and Ontario, Canada. Often these environmental audits are conducted with a nationally recognized health and safety firm to include issues regulated by OSHA. When necessary, SEI also includes other professionals in its audit team to ensure that all facets of an environmental audit are completed with appropriate and experienced personnel.

SEI is well aware of the serious nature of environmental auditing, particularly the potential liabilities associated with the discovery and reporting of adverse audit findings, and the need for proper and complete documentation of the corrective measures to be taken. Similarly, SEI's staff is aware of the significant benefits from environmental audits if identified issues are addressed in a timely manner. In order to balance the potential risks with the benefits of a properly executed audit, SEI often works with clients’ environmental counsel from the inception of an audit, allowing SEI to fully discuss any environmental issues including clients’ interpretation of specific regulations before committing its conclusions to writing.

SEI's environmental audits typically include the following:

• Inspection of the facility operations
• Examination of the facility operating records
• Interviews with environmental compliance staff
• Discussions with operations personnel
• Review of environmental management practices
• Review of facility permits
• Preparation of recommendations
