Energy & Utilities

Energy and utility companies face unique EHS challenges driven by the scale of operations, the hazardous nature of fuels and chemicals used, and the critical infrastructure designation that brings additional security requirements. From coal and natural gas power plants to renewable energy facilities, from water treatment operations to electric utilities — each segment has specific regulatory requirements that demand specialized audit expertise.

Many energy facilities handle highly hazardous chemicals that trigger OSHA PSM and EPA RMP requirements. Our combined PSM/RMP audit capability is especially valuable for energy sector clients, as we can assess both regulatory frameworks in a single, efficient engagement. Environmental compliance for energy facilities encompasses air quality permitting, water discharge monitoring, waste management, and increasingly, greenhouse gas reporting. Our ISO 14001 audits evaluate your environmental management system's effectiveness in managing these diverse requirements. Security is an additional dimension for energy infrastructure. As critical infrastructure, energy facilities may be subject to NERC CIP standards and other security requirements. Our military security background strengthens our ability to assess these unique requirements.
