EHS Audits, Regulatory Strategies, and
Program Development in Houston
Undergoing an environmental, health, and safety (EHS) audit is an important step for industries ranging from the oilfield to pharmaceutical organizations, and well beyond; however, who you trust for the task matters.
With lives and environmental impact on the line, missing anything can have detrimental consequences. Furthermore, you’ll need to have an actionable strategy in place that ensures success today and tomorrow.
The team at IronHawk Compliance & Integrity helps organizations improve themselves with thorough EHS audits, regulatory strategies that are clear, and the development of programs that keep everyone on the same page.
What Is an EHS Audit?
An EHS audit is a structured review that gives leaders a clear picture of where their operations stand. By examining workplace policies, procedures, and daily practices, audits ensure compliance with OSHA, EPA, and other regulations while uncovering risks that could impact people, assets, or the environment.
An audit focuses on three critical areas:
- Environmental Impact: waste, emissions, chemical storage
- Employee Health: exposure risks, PPE, workplace hygiene
- Safety: equipment maintenance, emergency protocols, and hazard controls
Through inspections, employee interviews, and detailed reporting, audits provide the insight organizations need to correct gaps and strengthen long-term reliability.
Whether conducted internally or by independent experts, the results help reduce risks, lower costs, and demonstrate a true commitment to safety.
At IronHawk, we transform audit findings into practical solutions that protect your workforce, improve efficiency, and keep your operations compliant and future-ready.

Regulatory Strategies for Modern Energy Companies
Regulatory strategies are the action plans that turn audit findings into measurable improvements. After an EHS audit identifies gaps or risks, a regulatory strategy provides the framework to correct them, align with OSHA, EPA, PHMSA, and other standards, and strengthen compliance long-term.
The right regulatory strategy also works in conjunction with audits by guiding how businesses monitor performance, adapt to changing regulations, and avoid repeat violations.
This proactive approach keeps you compliant while building efficiency, reducing costs, and creating a stronger culture of safety.
For the team at IronHawk, regulatory strategy consulting means taking our findings from your audit and creating tailored strategies that fit your industry, risks, and goals.
From corrective action planning and policy development to technical writing, training, and oversight, we ensure compliance becomes a sustainable advantage rather than a recurring challenge.
EHS Program Development for Continued Success
An audit identifies risks. A strategy sets direction. But program development is where lasting success is built. At IronHawk, we take findings and turn them into structured, actionable systems that keep your operations compliant, safe, and future-ready.
In the short term, an EHS development program provides clarity and control. From gap analyses and OSHA compliance programs to emergency response exercises and technical training, we deliver immediate solutions that close compliance gaps and reduce risk.
Whether it’s SPCC and Tier II reporting for environmental responsibilities, integrity management for pipelines, or post-acquisition due diligence, a good program ensures your systems stay effective as regulations, assets, and operations change.
This is exactly what IronHawk delivers for industries throughout the energy sector.
We maintain documentation, perform revalidations, and provide ongoing technical support so your compliance never falls behind.
The result is a compliance framework that works today and adapts tomorrow. IronHawk doesn’t just hand over paperwork. We act as your partner, delivering the expertise and systems that safeguard people, assets, and reputations for long-term success.
