Outsourced EHS for Seattle
Compliance Without Hiring Full-Time EHS Staff
Seattle's aerospace suppliers, tech manufacturers, and port operators need dedicated EHS resources but can't always justify full-time hires. iSi's EHS Cooperative Program lets you scale EHS support from $15K foundation coverage to $60K strategic partnership—all without the overhead of salary, benefits, or training. Pay for what you need; access expert support when you need it.
Why iSi's EHS Cooperative for Seattle
Seattle's aerospace and manufacturing landscape is crowded with mid-sized suppliers struggling with EHS compliance. Hiring a full-time EHS Manager costs $70K-$90K salary plus 30% benefits = $91K-$117K annually. But if you're a 75-person Boeing supplier with stable operations and manageable regulatory exposure, a full-time hire is overkill and a budget drain. Conversely, if you're a major aerospace manufacturer or port operator with 200+ employees, Washington L&I oversight, hazardous waste streams, and complex permit requirements, you need dedicated expertise—not consultants who visit once a year.
iSi's EHS Cooperative bridges this gap with three scalable tiers. The Compliance Foundation program ($15K/year) provides annual audits, quarterly touchpoints, and incident support for smaller facilities. The Compliance Maintenance tier ($34K/year) includes monthly check-ins, semi-annual on-site visits, and hands-on training program development. The Compliance Partner Program ($60K/year) positions iSi as your outsourced EHS department—quarterly on-site work, unlimited access, permit management, workers comp optimization, and safety committee leadership.
Each tier includes regulatory monitoring, so you're notified immediately when Washington L&I or OSHA rules change. We track your workers comp claims and help identify cost-reduction opportunities. We manage your compliance calendar so permits, certifications, and inspections never get missed. Most importantly, you have a known expert you can call without worrying about retainer minimums or per-hour billing surprises. EHS costs become predictable, and quality stays consistent.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does iSi's Compliance Foundation program include?
Foundation ($15K/year) provides baseline EHS coverage: annual compliance audit, quarterly check-ins, incident response support, basic training templates, and regulatory change notifications. Ideal for smaller Seattle facilities with stable operations and low-risk profiles. You have direct contact with an EHS professional but minimal on-site presence.
When should we upgrade to the Compliance Maintenance tier?
Maintenance ($34K/year) is right when you need predictable ongoing support: monthly compliance check-ins, two on-site visits annually, hazard assessments every 18 months, training program design and delivery, workers comp consultation, and incident investigation. Most Seattle aerospace suppliers at this tier have 50-150 employees and evolving regulatory requirements.
What makes the Compliance Partner Program different?
Partner ($60K/year) is a true outsourced EHS department: quarterly on-site presence, unlimited phone/email access, weekly compliance tracking, safety committee management, training calendar ownership, permit and inspection readiness, workers comp cost reduction initiatives, and emergency response planning. This tier is for high-complexity operations that need EHS embedded in daily decision-making.
