Outsourced EHS for Tampa
Compliance Without Hiring Full-Time EHS Staff
Tampa's port operations, phosphate processors, and manufacturing facilities 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. Florida DEP and OSHA compliance made predictable and affordable.
Why iSi's EHS Cooperative for Tampa
Tampa's industrial landscape challenges small and mid-sized operators. Hiring a full-time EHS Manager costs $75K-$95K salary plus 30% benefits = $98K-$124K annually. For a mid-sized phosphate operation or port service company with 100 employees, that's a significant overhead. But if you ignore EHS, Florida DEP and OSHA penalties escalate quickly—air permit violations, stormwater non-compliance, OSHA citations. You need expert support without the full-time commitment. Conversely, if you're a major port operator or large processing facility with complex permits and high regulatory exposure, a full-time EHS hire may not have enough bandwidth for all compliance demands.
iSi's EHS Cooperative bridges this gap with three scalable tiers. The Compliance Foundation program ($15K/year) provides annual audits, quarterly touchpoints, incident support, and regulatory alerts for smaller facilities. The Compliance Maintenance tier ($34K/year) includes monthly check-ins, semi-annual on-site visits, hazard assessments, training program development, and incident investigation. 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 Florida DEP air and water permit monitoring, OSHA rule tracking, and workers comp cost reduction analysis.
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. Your team knows exactly who to contact when a hazard emerges or an incident occurs. We manage your compliance calendar so Florida DEP permits, OSHA inspections, and certification renewals never get missed. We track workers comp claims and recommend practical safety improvements that reduce your rates. Tampa operations that commit to one of our EHS tiers operate with confidence—compliance is embedded, not afterthought.

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 Florida DEP and OSHA regulatory change notifications. Ideal for smaller Tampa 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 Tampa port and phosphate operations at this tier have 75-200 employees and evolving Florida DEP and OSHA 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 complex operations like port facilities or phosphate processors that need EHS embedded in daily decision-making.
