Senior EHS leadership, priced to the operation — not the hour.
Flat monthly retainers. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. Travel is passed through at cost, so you control the onsite cadence and therefore the spend. Below is exactly how we price and how we decide where you land.
The Ladder
Each tier includes everything in the tiers below it. You can start where you are and move up as the operation grows — or move down once the system runs itself.
The EHS Desk
$499/mo
For teams doing the work themselves who need senior answers, templates, and a second set of eyes.
- Async Q&A — OSHA, EPA, recordability, and program questions answered in writing, one business day
- One document review each month — a written program, JHA, training record, or contractor packet, returned with markup
- Template library — written programs, inspection forms, JHA/JSA, permits, training matrix, compliance calendar; yours to brand
- Monthly live office hours — 60-minute group session with Corey, recorded
- Regulatory alerts — what changed and whether it touches your operation
- Citation triage — what it means, what is negotiable, and your deadlines
- Onboarding self-assessment — where you actually stand, at signup
You run the program; we make sure you are running it right. Business hours, written support. Does not include onsite work, us executing tasks, inspection or citation response, IH sampling, PE-stamped design, or legal counsel. $4,990/year saves two months. Your first 90 days credit toward any retainer tier.
Fractional Specialist
$3,900/mo
Single site, up to roughly 75 employees. Approx. 8–12 hours a month.
- Compliance calendar built for your site, with owners and dates
- Core written-program starter kit built for your operation
- OSHA 300/300A recordkeeping oversight and recordability calls
- Quarterly remote mini-audit with a prioritized Top-10 gap list
- Monthly private office hours plus on-call guidance by email or Slack
The line between here and the Desk: at the Desk you do the work. From Specialist up, we do.
Fractional Manager
$5,400–7,200/mo
One to three sites. Approx. 16–28 hours a month.
- Everything in Specialist, across up to three locations
- Programs embedded into the facility — training delivered, inspections run, findings worked
- Incident investigation and corrective-action ownership
- Onsite cadence by agreement
Automatic minimum tier for any PSM (29 CFR 1910.119) or RMP (40 CFR 68) covered process, regardless of headcount.
Fractional Director
$8,100–12,000/mo
Three or more sites, roughly 150–500 employees. Approx. 32–50 hours a month.
- Multi-site standardization — one calendar, one scorecard, one action board across every location
- EHS strategy and roadmap tied to your risk profile and capital plan
- Environmental compliance owned alongside safety — air permits, RCRA, SPCC, stormwater, Tier II
- Executive and board reporting in P&L language — EMR trajectory, Total Cost of Risk
- M&A due diligence and 90-day integration of acquired sites
- Onsite cadence included by rule
Fractional VP / Enterprise
Custom · $12,000+/mo
Multi-entity platforms, PE portfolios, and complex or high-hazard operations.
- Enterprise EHS strategy across entities, with portfolio roll-up reporting
- CAPEX planning and risk-management function development
- Portfolio audit program and platform standardization
- Custom cadence, scoped per entity
How We Decide Where You Land
Placement is set by the highest applicable of four factors — not by headcount alone. A small site with a covered process outranks a large, simple one.
Employee count and total square footage across the locations we cover.
Processes, chemical inventory, equipment, and the number of regulatory programs in play.
How many sites, and how far apart operationally and geographically.
Injury and claims history, EMR, citation history, and hazard class. PSM- or RMP-covered processes set a Manager-tier floor automatically.
Add-Ons & Pass-Throughs
| Add-on | Rate |
|---|---|
| Additional site | Quoted at reassessment by size, complexity, and risk — never a flat fee |
| Expedited services / surge capacity — extra manpower or accelerated timelines for program buildouts, audit prep, integration sprints | $500 per 2-hour block; larger efforts quoted fixed-fee |
| Additional onsite day — beyond the cadence included in your tier | $500 / day / person + travel at cost |
| Emergency Response & Priority Access — after-hours and weekend availability, rapid incident investigation, OSHA inspection and abatement response, spill support | +$1,500 / month |
Terms, Plainly
Then month-to-month with 30 days’ notice. Long enough to build the system and prove it works.
Net 15. The retainer is fixed for the initial term.
Itemized, no markup, cadence agreed in advance. You control the spend.
Once baselines exist, we will propose a results-based incentive tied to EMR, claims, or Total Cost of Risk. We win when your cost of risk falls.
Common Questions
- Why flat monthly instead of hourly?
- Hourly billing punishes you for asking questions. A retainer means your team calls us when something matters, and we plan the work instead of metering it.
- What if we outgrow a tier — or shrink?
- Tier movement follows a reassessment of size, complexity, sites, and risk, with the fee adjusting on the effective date of the change. It moves both directions.
- Is the Desk just a cheaper version of the same thing?
- No. The Desk gives you access, templates, and answers while your team does the work. From Specialist up, we own and execute the program. Different product, not a discount.
- Do you replace our in-house EHS person?
- Usually not. Most often we lead the function while your in-house staff execute at the sites, which is what gives them a senior person to escalate to.
- What does a full-time hire actually cost by comparison?
- Salary is roughly two-thirds of it once recruiting, benefits, ramp-up, and turnover are counted. Our estimator lets you model it with your own numbers.
- What is not included at any tier?
- Full-time onsite staffing, legal counsel or expert-witness work, industrial-hygiene sampling and lab analysis, PE-stamped design, and occupational medical services. We coordinate qualified third parties where those are needed.
