MISSION CONTROL
VANGUARD'S CORPORATE OFFICE

VANGUARD ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. manages regulatory compliance for more companies than any other organization, public or private, in North America. Vanguard serves a diverse clientele throughout Industry – manufacturers and non-manufacturers alike – through its "Mission Control" style of Turn-Key compliance. Thus, the client remains focused on his core business priorities, turning compliance lemons into economic lemonade.

Combining the compliance expertise and know-how of engineering, environmental science, OSHA education, and regulatory professionals, Vanguard brings state-of-the-art proprietary technologies to the client’s table for the purpose of site-specific, precision due diligence to conquer over 60 environmental, health, safety (EHS) laws imposed upon Industry by the Federal government, along with numerous variations on the regulatory theme stemming from state, county, and local jurisdictions. No wonder the term "regulatory maze" sounds so appropriate!

Vanguard is about EMPOWERMENT, ECONOMICS, & PRECISION DUE DILIGENCE…in behalf of the client! Vanguard clients enjoy the empowerment that only advanced technologies, backed up by a team of compliance specialists, can provide. Vanguard brings peace of mind. With the exposure to EHS enforcement penalties most companies now face, Sr. Mgt. can no longer place just one person in charge of the magnitude of compliance mandates and assume all compliance has been satisfied, deadlines met, and their company has been safeguarded. Whether a company’s compliance officer is charged with internal compliance as his only assignment, or he’s wearing many hats, virtually every company in North America needs Vanguard’s Regulatory Management Systems (RMS).

Regulatory Calendar & Decision Matrix…a site-specific management system to prioritize all critical deadlines and compliance protocols throughout the regulatory year;
