EHS Director on Retainer (Part-Time)

EHS Director on Retainer (Part-Time)

Your company may not need a full-time EHS Director. But it may have outgrown going without one.

Growing companies often reach the same point: safety is too important to keep handling informally, but the business is not ready to add a full-time EHS Director to payroll.

That middle stage is where preventable risk grows quietly.

HR is holding the training records. Operations is chasing production. Supervisors are making judgment calls under pressure. Maintenance is fixing what cannot wait. Ownership is assuming the system is covered because nothing serious has happened yet.

Fractional EHS Director support gives the business senior safety leadership without the full-time hire — so the company can move from informal safety activity to a working system with structure, accountability, and follow-through.

What Fractional EHS Support Provides:

  • Senior EHS judgment applied to the way your operation actually works
  • Regular site review and follow-up on hazards, inspections, training, and corrective actions
  • Support for owners, plant managers, HR leaders, supervisors, and operations teams
  • Practical prioritization so the company knows what needs attention first
  • Help preparing for Cal/OSHA questions, customer audits, carrier reviews, claim trends, and renewal pressure

This Is for Companies That Are:

  • Too complex for informal safety but not ready for a full-time EHS hire
  • Growing across Orange County, Los Angeles, Riverside, or San Diego
  • Relying on HR, operations, or a plant manager to carry safety by default
  • Seeing repeat injuries, recurring hazards, open findings, or weak follow-through
  • Facing more questions from customers, brokers, risk advisors, underwriters, or regulators

How It Works: I assess the current system, identify what is assumed versus what is controlled, set practical priorities, support implementation, and help leadership build a rhythm for inspections, training, corrective actions, supervisor accountability, and continuous improvement.

Why It Matters: Waiting is not neutral. If your company has outgrown informal safety, the gap will eventually get tested by an injury, a claim, a Cal/OSHA visit, a customer audit, or a renewal conversation. Fractional EHS support helps you address the gap before someone else defines it for you.
