The first of two posts sharing examples of how our Long Term Support subscription is helping create EHS-driven cultures at customer sites
This is the first of two posts sharing examples of how our Long Term Support subscription is helping create EHS-driven cultures at customer sites. For us, an EHS-driven culture means EHS behaviors are embedded at every level of the organization. Site managers are engaged. Supervisors are coaching their teams. Employees are identifying risks. And the site-wide mindset becomes, “EHS is my job.” A good example is what we’re seeing with risk assessments at two very different cust

The Site EHS Lead owns the program, which keeps EHS from spreading across the operation.

Is EHS run through one person...or built into the operations team? The EHS Long Term Support subscription solves this.

How much of your EHS program depends on one or two people being available?
I was talking with a plant leader recently. Good operation. No major issues. At one point, he mentioned that most EHS items run through one person. So I asked, what happens when that person is out? There was a pause. Not a long one. Just enough. You could tell. How much of your EHS program depends on one or two people being available? If that answer isn’t clear, it’s probably worth a closer look.

Manufacturing EHS Job Postings across New Jersey
I’m seeing a lot of manufacturing EHS job postings across New Jersey. The postings describe the role in detail, and these are roles I’ve seen posted before. It reflects how EHS is expected to function. At high-performing sites, EHS is part of running the operation. It's built into how expectations are set, how supervisors run their areas, and how decisions get made day to day, with operations accountable and EHS coaching and supporting. At Baron, we work with organizations bu

Brian Long's stance: Any business model that includes a Site EHS Lead is OUTDATED
My stance for EHS Excellence: Any business model that includes a Site EHS Lead is OUTDATED. Yes Sir, Yes Ma'am, I'll hold my ground on this. Here it is rephrased: A Site EHS Lead as the foundation of a program? That model is clearly outdated. EHS excellence has no single point of failure. It is an EHS-driven culture, coached by a dedicated team rather than a chain of site and corporate EHS roles. I really like that prior sentence. It calls into question the value derived from

In costume and laughing, "If outside help is needed to drive compliance, solve problems, and build safety culture, what exactly is in-house EHS paid to do?"
Attention! Police Officer BRIAN LONG here, reporting live, from the left side of the photo! Here’s our team on Friday: Thumbs up, in costume, and aligned within our team-based EHS outsourcing model. This is the opposite of what we see at so many New Jersey pharma and manufacturing sites still clinging to the outdated EHS model. Full-time EHS staff, yet consultants are still called in to get the difficult work done. It’s unfathomable, and it’s more common than people want to a

We’re Excited to Grow our Team and Keep the Momentum Going
Join us and be a part of our EHS success. We created a new Pharma EHS business model that continues to grow: a subscription-based, outsourced EHS team. For our hiring efforts, we’re looking for the qualities our clients value most: the ability to keep pace with manufacturing demands, deliver fast assessments for APIs (including OEB banding), drive a culture of getting things done, and show value and measurable results. Experience with API assessments a must. Experience with E

Long Term Support is a fixed price, team-based solution that replaces the need to hire in-house EHS staff.
Most General Managers will tell you the same thing: EHS feels like a never-ending hassle. First comes the struggle to hire and keep the right EHS Manager. Then comes the patchwork of consultants, reports, audits… and it never stops. Baron used to add to that noise, offering dozens of one-off projects like every other EHS consultant. But that approach doesn’t solve the big picture. It’s not sustainable. So we changed the model. Today, it’s simple: a fixed-price, team-based sol
