LONG TERM SUPPORT

Why is Baron's EHS Long Term Support service better than having internal EHS staff on site?

There are several reasons why this service is the smart choice:

  1. Our team-based service eliminates reliance on any one person on site. 

  2. Baron’s service is sustainable. It provides consistent support, with a full EHS skill set, and is not impacted by employee turnover.

  3. There is a false perception that internal EHS staff is necessary for urgent needs. This misconception is based on a dated staffing model. Baron ensures continuous coverage, EHS compliance, and utilizes a team-based system to react to urgent needs.

  4. Baron’s EHS Long Term Support is less expensive than onsite staff.
