EHS Auditing Services

The STC team helps our clients design, implement, and improve their compliance audit programs. Depending on client objectives, STC will train the firm’s own EHS auditors, join in-house audit teams, or conduct the audits ourselves. STC follows well-practiced standard procedures in conducting EHS compliance and management systems audits. Our audit professionals have performed hundreds of EHS audits over the past decade or more and their ongoing work in tracking EHS regulatory updates and keeping the company’s eight audit/compliance guides up-to-date makes STC uniquely qualified. Because of their broad experience in industry and consulting, STC auditors consistently provide sound recommendations for improved compliance management actions. STC is a valued legal partner, having extensive experience in working under attorney-client privilege, both for law firms and for in-house counsel.

Representative clients for STC’s specialized compliance auditing and consulting programs include:
Medco:
STC has been working with Medco since its spin-off from Merck in 2003, when the pharmacy benefits management leader selected STC to help develop and implement its EHS compliance and management systems audit program.  Since then STC has helped Medco conduct more than 40 EHS audits and provided both classroom and in-the-field auditor training to Medco EHS staff.  STC has also provided a series of EHS webinars designed to help Medco staff understand and assure compliance with key programs such as electrical safety and pharmaceutical waste management; as a result, the frequency and severity of audit findings in these areas has decreased.  Medco’s EHS performance has improved steadily over the years and facility EHS staff members are happy to say that agency inspectors give them excellent reports on compliance.

Meggitt-USA, Inc.:
Meggitt-USA (MUSA) is the domestic manufacturing arm of Meggitt PLC, a British firm specializing in aerospace and defense products.  STC staff has participated in MUSA’s compliance auditing program since 1995.  What began as an environmental auditing program has since evolved into an environmental, health and safety audit program.  STC staff has audited each of MUSA’s manufacturing facilities, which are located throughout the U.S., and conducted pre-closure environmental assessments of several facilities that were being relocated.
