HazMat Compliance Management

A HazMat compliance subscription built around your operation.

Keeping a HazMat program on track takes more than answering an occasional question. Procedures, training, records and everyday work need to stay connected as your business changes.

STARS HazMat Compliance Management (HCM) is a subscription service for companies that need sustained, practical support for their hazardous materials program. We can support your internal team or provide a broader managed program, with the scope tailored to your operation.

Our focus is the work behind compliance: identifying gaps, setting priorities and helping your team put workable solutions into practice.

Keep compliance connected to daily operations.

HCM may be a fit when your team is stretched, the same compliance gaps keep coming back, or new materials, locations or activities are adding complexity.

STARS brings experienced support across applicable transportation, hazardous waste and hazmat-related workplace requirements. We work with you to define the support your program needs and the responsibilities of each team. Your company retains its operational and regulatory responsibilities.

Tell us what you handle, how your operation works and where your team needs help. We’ll discuss whether an HCM subscription is the right fit.

Practical support. Clear priorities. A stronger program.

Field-first perspective

We look at how hazardous materials are actually handled, not just what a procedure says. That helps connect regulatory requirements with the decisions your team makes every day.

Procedures your team can use

We help develop and improve procedures, documentation and training around your work. The goal is practical guidance that people can understand and apply.

Continuity for your team

A subscription gives your organization an ongoing compliance resource. We support your staff as questions, personnel and operational needs change.

An independent second look

Assessments and gap reviews help identify where written programs and actual practices differ. We help your team prioritize the issues that need attention.

Support through change

New products, materials and operating activities can introduce new requirements. We help you evaluate those changes and plan the compliance work they require.

Help putting plans into practice

Identifying a gap is only the beginning. STARS can help your team develop corrective actions, improve processes and address the practical challenges of implementation.
