Our Team Approach
First to outsource: Right place, right time, right skill set.
It all started in 1992. During these early years there were small companies growing in Cambridge. Traction was building, the biotech sector was providing jobs for scientists.
In short order, dialed-in focus for scientific results became a mandate from the biotech financiers. One trickledown effect was the advent of outsourcing business needs, and eventually some scientific functions. Over the last 30+ years, outsourcing has bourgeoned. Safety Partners invented the first outsourced, hands-on, on-going delivery of lab-based EHS programs.
The type of energy Safety Partners brings to a safety issue or a compliance challenge is palpably different. Our Consulting Safety Officer team leverages years of experience working in science and technology to develop peer-to-peer relationships with clients. The combination of science, technology and lab experience, along with EHS expertise, results in best in class, practical EHS solutions that fit company culture, technology and workflow.
Outsourcing EHS has advantages:
- We take the distraction and angst off employee staff.
- EHS is our main focus; deeper expertise leads to less stress and situations are assessed calmly.
- Our relationships with agency representatives bring clarity to regulatory interpretation.
- We give scientists back their time to focus on their most critical mission.
