  • With ever-changing regulations and emerging safety concerns amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for environmental, health, and safety (EHS) professionals to access training and compliance support is more important than ever. To help fulfill that need, BLR® is proud to announce the launch of a new EHS Solution Center filled with the latest compliance, regulatory guidance, and training resources.

    With a majority of EHS companies continuing to operate on-site, workplace safety and injury prevention continue to be top priorities.
