By: U.S. Compliance Corporation Ellen Nesbitt, M.S. is the Environmental, Health, & Safety Advisor for U.S. Compliance Corp, based in the Illinois office. Nesbitt provides quality EHS services at various customers in Nevada, Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri, and locally in Chicago. Nesbitt is responsible for developing site-specific training within various industrial settings and has been instrumental in developing environmental, health, and safety programs for numerous manufacturing firms. Nesbitt recently shared that one of the top compliance challenges is getting everyone's buy-in to safety. Employees that have worked at the same job for several years may not be open to change or do not want to see the hazards that exist in the workplace. Several "mom and pop" business owners are not interested safety because they think it slows down productivity. Smaller firms are challenged by learning how to use new technologies. There are new apps and devices coming out (such as headphones that claim to offer the same protection as ear plugs, using an iPhone app to measure sound levels); this may or may not be conductive to compliance. A third-challenge, noted Nesbitt, is staying on top of changing regulations, such as the recent changes to the Hazard Communication standard and NFPA 70E.
