Our EHS Program Development & Implementation Solutions

See how our experts support lab-ready property development and tenant compliance with comprehensive EHS planning and permitting services.

We advise real estate developers, landlords, and property managers on EHS requirements for new or renovated multi-tenant lab buildings. This includes guidance on hazardous materials handling, flammable storage, wastewater discharge, vivarium planning, and emergency systems to ensure regulatory readiness and tenant appeal.

Our team navigates complex local, state, and federal requirements to secure permits during the pre-permitting and permitting phases. We manage submissions for EPA and state waste registrations, industrial wastewater discharge, and flammables licenses, ensuring your building operates in full compliance.

We develop building-wide safety documentation and deliver required training programs for all staff. This includes Emergency Evacuation Plans (EAP), Hazard Communication Programs (HCP), and custom training for ancillary personnel like facilities and custodial staff.

We support lease negotiations by clarifying which EHS responsibilities fall to the landlord or tenant. Our experts review lease language, define hazardous material restrictions, and develop customized Building EHS Operations Manuals that outline tenant responsibilities and minimize risk for landlords.

To ensure smooth startup, we provide tenants with all necessary EHS permits, manuals, and compliance training. Our programs are built to grow and evolve alongside the company, ensuring continued compliance and risk management as operations scale.

We help landlords reduce liability by implementing administrative controls and hazard visibility protocols. This includes conducting tenant hazard surveys and analyzing results to drive improvements in safety program oversight across shared spaces and tenant operations.
