Outsourced EHS for Los Angeles
Expert EHS Without the Full-Time Salary Cost
Los Angeles' aerospace contractors, port operators, and refinery facilities need sophisticated EHS programs—SCAQMD permits, Cal/OSHA compliance, hazardous waste management. But hiring a dedicated EHS Manager costs $100K+ salary and benefits. iSi's EHS Cooperative scales from $15K foundation coverage to $60K strategic partnership, giving you enterprise-grade EHS at the cost structure your LA business can afford.
Why iSi's EHS Cooperative for Los Angeles
Los Angeles' industrial economy operates on tight margins. Aerospace suppliers competing for Northrop and SpaceX contracts can't afford a dedicated EHS hire for every small team—costs would be prohibitive. Port operators managing massive cargo volumes operate with lean staff. Refinery support services need sophisticated environmental expertise but can't justify full-time EHS salaries. All of these operations require rigorous EHS management because California's regulatory environment (SCAQMD, Cal/OSHA, CalEPA) demands it.
iSi's EHS Cooperative solves this scaling challenge. The Compliance Foundation program ($15K/year) provides annual compliance audits, quarterly check-ins, incident response support, and regulatory update notifications—perfect for smaller aerospace suppliers and light industrial operations. Compliance Maintenance ($34K/year) scales up with monthly touchpoints, semi-annual on-site visits, training program design, hazard assessments, and permit management support—ideal for growing contractors and mid-sized port operators. The Compliance Partner Program ($60K/year) is a true outsourced EHS department: quarterly on-site presence, unlimited phone/email access, SCAQMD permit coordination, Cal/OSHA compliance oversight, workers comp optimization, and emergency response planning.
Each tier includes regulatory monitoring so you're immediately notified when SCAQMD, Cal/OSHA, or EPA rules change. We track incident trends and identify workers comp cost-reduction opportunities. We maintain compliance calendars so permits, inspections, and certifications never slip. For LA operations, regulatory complexity is the norm—having a known EHS expert on speed dial is insurance against costly surprises. We make enterprise-grade EHS accessible at the price point your business can sustain.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Compliance Foundation sufficient for smaller LA aerospace suppliers?
Yes. Foundation ($15K/year) works for smaller aerospace suppliers with limited regulatory exposure and stable operations. You get annual audits, quarterly touchpoints, incident support, and regulatory updates on Cal/OSHA and SCAQMD changes. Direct contact with an EHS professional is available but on-site presence is minimal. Ideal for Tier-3 suppliers or early-stage companies.
When should LA facilities upgrade to Compliance Maintenance?
Maintenance ($34K/year) is right for growing operations (50-150 employees) with evolving regulatory exposure: monthly check-ins, semi-annual on-site visits, hazard assessments, training design, permit support, and incident investigation. LA aerospace contractors, port operators, and refinery support services typically operate at this tier.
When is the Compliance Partner Program essential for LA operations?
Partner ($60K/year) is necessary for major facilities: quarterly on-site presence, unlimited access, SCAQMD permit management, Cal/OSHA compliance oversight, workers comp optimization, and emergency response readiness. Large aerospace plants, refineries, and major port operators operate at this tier where EHS is strategic.
