Creating a safe living environment is essential, but hardly easy. Sector-specific national and international legislation, and the ever-changing understanding of potential hazards result in complex dynamics. SGI Compliance unravels the complexity. Our experts know the risks and sector-specific regulations. With their knowledge and expertise they can help and advise.
To protect man and the environment, the standards for a healthy and safe living environment are high. Potable water systems and installations are, for instance, governed by watertight legislation. Poor water quality can, after all, constitute a serious public health hazard, such as Legionella contamination. Excellent monitoring of potable water quality requires specific expertise. And new insights result in changing requirements. Take asbestos or Chromium (VI). Used widely as (building) materials at the end of the previous century, we now know that processing can result in the release of noxious fibres (asbestos) and fumes (Chromium (VI)). This underlines the importance of an expert risk assessment when undertaking demolition or renovation work. In addition, Corporate Social Responsibility standards become increasingly stringent. Think of the employer’s duty of care for employees, e.g. in terms of internal environmental quality. And the fire safety of buildings, or the detrimental environmental impact of the use of hazardous materials. For over thirty years, SGI Compliance has adopted a pragmatic and targeted approach to address Health & Safety issues. Particularly in the sectors property, industry and maritime/offshore. Our experts take on the challenge, combining knowledge of legislation with a thorough understanding of the risks and interests.
Industry and the energy sector need innovative and pragmatic solutions for the inventory and removal of hazardous materials.

We provide fully customised services for the removal of hazardous materials with minimal disruption, securing health and safety.
International regulations govern the safe handling of hazardous materials during the entire life cycle of a ship.
In accordance with IMO regulations, the Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) identifies the presence of hazardous (waste) materials. SGI Compliance’ experts carry out IHMs globally: offshore, on board ships in port or at sea. Training in handling hazardous materials is often included. The digital IHM reports cover the ship’s life cycle and, like the occasionally compulsory asbestos-free declaration, can be included in a maintenance or management plan.
