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 This is the opposite of what we see at so many New Jersey pharma and manufacturing sites still clinging to the outdated EHS model.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

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

EHS Myth #1 (The One-Person Model):
Many people incorrectly believe compliance and culture are secured by hiring an in-house EHS manager.

Our misstep in this video says a lot about who we are. A team that’s serious about the work, not about ourselves!

EHS in New Jersey running smoothly, and confidently, like Tesla’s Full Self-Driving
Wouldn’t it be nice if your EHS program ran as smoothly -- AND AS CONFIDENTLY -- as Tesla’s Full Self-Driving? No overcorrecting. No last second scrambling. Just steady progress with the system handling the complexity behind the scenes. While the car handled the road, I recorded this quick story: - One client had a single bad formula in their RPPR spreadsheet. - We caught it. We aligned the NOx and nitric acid usage as the permit required. - We likely cut a week-long DEP audi

A Regional, Embedded, and Face-to-Face Team-Based EHS Model versus a National PE-Backed Consulting Firm
Nine minutes in, the Teams meeting went silent. The EHS lead of a $1 billion coatings maker thanked us—then hung up when she heard we “only” cover New Jersey, New York, and Eastern PA. Her edict? “One national firm for every North American site.” This concept may look flawless in a PowerPoint. But on the production floor it often means parachute consultants, weeks between visits, and leaves site managers without the EHS support they need. We took a different road: regiona

If your EHS program only works when one person is gripping the wheel, then it’s not sustainable. The moment they’re gone—you crash. (An Analogy between Tesla Full Self Driving (FSD) and Baron)

What would happen if someone tossed your EHS binder in the trash?
What would happen if someone tossed your EHS binder in the trash? Would your safety program keep running… or would the whole thing fall apart? Would anyone even notice? Back in February, we kicked off with a new client in the NY/NJ metro area. On paper, they valued EHS. At first, they said the right things. But once we got to work, the truth surfaced. They didn’t want change. They wanted an EHS binder. Something impressive to show their customers—nothing more. They wante

Another agency inspection. Another clean result. And NO dedicated onsite EHS person.
The Outdated EHS Model Just Failed Another Test Before this facility adopted our team-based EHS subscription service last June, they had an onsite EHS manager, and most compliance responsibilities sat in the EHS department. Production and supply chain personnel weren’t actively engaged in EHS the way they should have been. When an agency inspection happened under that old model, violations followed. That was then. Last week, the agency inspector called asking for the former E

Most companies treat EHS like a never-ending series of “projects.”
Manufacturing leaders: Do you feel stuck in an endless cycle of EHS projects? One consultant files a report. Another handles an audit. A specialist is called in for air permits. Then it all starts over again... You are RESPONSIBLE for your site’s EHS compliance. That means regulatory deadlines, safety programs, emissions reports, and audits all land on your plate—whether you have the right support or not. And here’s the problem: Most companies treat EHS like a never-ending se

When it comes to EHS demands, less clarity leads to...more headaches.
Oxymoronic, or just plain moronic? They say, "less is more”. But when it comes to EHS demands, less clarity leads to...more headaches. I’ve heard it all: • "We need a sustainable short-term fix." • "Let’s delegate accountability to one person." • "Our compliance is fine… except for the fines." EHS is already demanding—don’t make it more complicated with contradictions. There’s a better way to get it done right. Have you researched any team-based, all-inclusive EHS outsourcing
