Challenges ways to address the complexities and intricacies of EH&S compliance management. Not only do these chal-
lenges stem from a constantly-changing regulatory landscape, but also from a scarcity of newcomers to the
EH&S field, and pressure on EH&S departments to manage increased responsibility with fewer resources. Ad-
dressing these issues requires broad and deep domain expertise—expertise that doesn’t always exist within
the company. And if it does, this expertise is probably best utilized by driving the company’s overall compli-
