• Hazardous Waste Management - Efficiently tracks waste container movements from generation to disposal, and reconciles inventory and consolidations.
• Chemical Inventory Management - Centralizes materials database tracking for both pure chemicals and mixtures in order to maintain compliance (e.g. generating accurate SARA reports) while also improving purchasing efficiency and production scheduling.
• Refrigerant Compliance - Controls and manages government regulated refrigerant inventory from purchase through usage and final disposal.
• Fugitive Emissions - Reduces compliance risk by streamlining the collection, administration and reporting of fugitive emissions monitoring data.
  

Environmental Compliance Solution enables you to:

• Reduce risk exposure, potential business disruptions, and fines that are associated with missed compliance obligations.
• Drive efficiency and accountability by providing up-to-the-minute environmental information to key decision makers whether they are located on production floor or at the executive suite.
• Perform applicability analyses that documents which regulations, permits and policies apply to each phase of your operation, and then track all of your compliance tasks to completion.
• Minimize data collection and reporting errors with end-to-end compliance assurance from a single system, which provides "one version of the truth."
• Assign compliance tasks to individuals and work teams, enter the estimated completion time and cost of performing the task, then track actual time and expense for follow up and, if needed, corrective actions.
