EHS resources and guides
Practical guides written by the Meridian EHS Partners consulting team — the same explanations we give clients, published free. Start with what an EHS consultant actually does and charges, compare the top consulting firms (including where we honestly fit), or work the OSHA top-10 violations playbook.
The guides
Written and maintained by named, credentialed consultants — not a content farm. Each guide answers the questions we hear weekly, with real numbers where numbers exist.
What Does an EHS Consultant Do?
The complete buyer’s guide: services, 2026 cost benchmarks, consultant vs. employee math, and the evaluation questions that separate experts from resume inflation.

Ten firms compared honestly — global players to regional specialists — with a transparent entry for our own firm and criteria for choosing among them.

The most-cited standards, what actually triggers each citation, and the fastest defensible fix for each — a self-audit playbook updated annually.
Work the playbookWhy give this away?
Because informed buyers make better clients. Companies that understand what consultants do, what fair pricing looks like, and what OSHA actually cites arrive at the first meeting ready to work — and companies that read our guides and hire someone else made a good decision with good information, which is fine with us. Have a question the guides do not answer? Check the FAQ or ask us directly.

Frequently asked questions
How often are the guides updated?
At least annually — the OSHA top-10 guide each fall when the new enforcement data publishes, and the cost and firms guides as market conditions change. Each guide shows its author and last-reviewed date in its structured data.
Can we reuse this content in internal training?
Yes, with attribution and a link back. For client engagements we go further — the underlying checklists and templates are provided in editable form as part of the work.
Who writes these?
The practice leaders whose names are on them — Dana Whitfield (CSP, CIH) and Marcus Oyelaran (CSP, CHST) — with review by the relevant specialist team. No ghostwritten SEO filler; that is rather the point.
