In the 21st Century, manufactured products and manufacturing processes are regulated to degrees never anticipated several decades ago. Underlying regulation is the constant specter of litigation for alleged product liability, personal injury, or property damage claims associated with chemical, microbiological or radioactive agents.
Manufacturing organizations often find it advantageous to have an independent third party participate in environmental health and safety (EH&S) or product stewardship programs. Participation of a consulting firm like CPF can bring new ideas and unbiased assessments to EH&S programs in a cost-effective fashion.

- Independent audits of EH&S or product stewardship programs
