Heritage Environmental Services and its subsidiaries turn big challenges into even bigger opportunities -- all while protecting human health and the environment. As a family of relationship-builders and problem-solvers, we specialize in developing products from our customer's waste.

On a daily basis, we manage all sorts of wastes and by-products. We like recycling basic commodities, but also handle the toughest hazardous wastes. Our key facilities are some of the most robust in the US – including waste treatment, incineration and landfill. But in everything we do, we insist on doing things safely and compliantly.

We're always asking 'what can we do better and different?' And 'what aren't we doing that we should be doing?' A few answers to those questions have allowed us to help whole industries convert hazardous waste into product feedstocks, help many manufacturing operations achieve Zero Landfill, take a major role in the 2010 Gulf Oil Spill clean-up, help rid communities of hazardous materials after Hurricane Sandy, and more ...

Environmental Health & Safety

Heritage takes pride in its commitment to health and safety and has one of the best records in the industry.  The objective of our health and safety plan is to control the chemical, physical and environmental hazards through proper planning, hazard recognition, evaluation, control and communication so that we have no accidents, spills or other incidents that could adversely affect our employees, the public or the environment. To make that happen, we require strict adherence to the standard health and safety manual by our personnel, subcontractors and visitors at Heritage project sites.

Our program fully complies with OSHA general industry and construction industry standards, with emphasis placed on OSHA’s “Hazardous Waste and Emergency Response” standard. Heritage’s Health and Safety Program is administered by the corporate health and safety manager who reports directly to the President.

Our program is implemented on a corporate-wide basis with health and safety plans prepared for every Heritage project. Unannounced inspections and audits are performed to determine compliance with each site-specific plan. The major elements of our program are: employee medical monitoring; employee health and safety training; site health and safety plan development; site inspections and audits; and near miss and safety observation follow-up and corrective action.
