Hellman & Associates

What Hellman & Associates does

Hellman & Associates is an environmental, health, and safety (EHS) consulting firm founded in 1998 and headquartered in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. Operating with an 11-50 employee headcount, the firm provided regulatory compliance management and consulting services to clients navigating OSHA, environmental, and safety requirements. Its founder and president, Ryan S. Hellman, led the firm as an independent private company for over two decades before its acquisition.

On November 11, 2024, Hellman & Associates was acquired by U.S. Compliance, a regulatory compliance management and consulting platform backed by SGE. The acquisition folded the firm into U.S. Compliance's portfolio of EHS solutions, integrating its consulting capabilities with the acquirer's broader service stack. The combined platform operates an EHS Compliance as a Service (CaaS) subscription model — a flat monthly fee structure delivering OSHA and environmental compliance consulting as an extension of client teams — alongside modular service offerings in health and safety, environmental, and construction fundamentals, industrial hygiene, electrical safety (NFPA70E), DOT HazMat training, specialized training and education, compliance risk assessment, incident investigation, JHA, and OSHA VPP application services. Supporting features include a Learning Management System (LMS), Digital Solutions, and an AI Ergonomics Assessment tool.

Post-acquisition, Hellman & Associates operates as a subsidiary of U.S. Compliance, which serves 1,000+ clients across North America. The combined go-to-market targets corporate EHS managers, plant managers, HR professionals, and owners/executives across regulated industries including manufacturing, construction, transportation, and mining. The integration represents a shift from standalone project-based consulting toward a recurring subscription service model at the parent level, with technology-enabled compliance delivery layered onto traditional consulting relationships.
