Compliance Management and Auditing

In a rapid paced business environment, it is not uncommon to forget how fast a project due date is approaching. Many managers face increasing responsibilities with decreasing resources made available to them. This is a dangerous combination, especially considering the legal ramifications associated with failing to comply with permits and other requirements. In order to stay on top of this situation, a tool is required that is aware of your needs and alerts you accordingly.

ERA Environmental Consulting, Inc. has the perfect solution in the Compliance Management Module. Perfect for every scope of business, whether for an individual site with many outputs or numerous sites with an individual output, this simple to use Web-Based System will always ensure that your company is aware of what's ahead in your compliance calendar.

ERA's Compliance Module makes it simple and easy to:

• Plan & Organize
• Set Deadlines for Anything
  • Permit Due Dates
  • Fee Payment Dates
  • Audit Dates
  • Training Dates
  • Conference Dates
  • Reporting requirements - Local, State & Federal related to NPDES, CWA, DMR, CAA, Title V, NEI, etc.

As an additional feature, ERA is now bundling the auditing module with the compliance module in order to make staying in compliance as simple as possible.

AUDITS

In order to maintain compliance, managers know that there are certain tasks that need to be accomplished. These tasks are often retained as part of a mental checklist, which a manager will routinely go through while spending many hours on the factory floor. If these checklists are found to be catered to, then managers will frequently reassure themselves that their affairs are in order.

While many managers may find this an effective method of assuring compliance, there is a far more reliable and adaptive method that can be used to combine the extensive managerial experience with a reliable data management tool – Questionnaires.

When tracking Compliance Dates you also need to track all of the relevant details that must be accomplished in order to achieve & maintain Compliance. These assuring lists can be built in a matter of minutes with ERA's EHS Auditing Module and reduce the continuous mental burden associated with compliance, as well as limiting the risk of omission.

ERA's Auditing Module can:

• Create simple Questionnaires or Full Audit Forms
• Associate the Audits with Tasks & Due Dates in the Compliance Manager
• Ask specific questions in the Questionnaires that may point to an "Non-Compliance" situation
• Create "Automatic Triggers" that either Alert you or prompt a more detailed Audit Response or both
• Save the completed Audits/Questionnaires within the module for quick access
• Provides a dynamic system that grows with you
• Corporate EHS Managers will have the necessary tools to ensure standardization of "Compliance Benchmarks"
• Provides an objective based system for evaluating individual EHS Manager performance on each site
