Certified Environmental

What Certified Environmental does

Certified Environmental, Inc. (CEI) is a privately held environmental and industrial hygiene consulting firm headquartered at 60 Foxcroft Circle in Lexington, Ohio. The company serves manufacturing facilities, industrial clients, and emergency-responder organizations primarily across Ohio and surrounding regions, delivering professional services across four divisions: Environmental, Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Health, Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), and Quality Consulting. Its client work spans environmental program development (SPCC, SWPPP, DOT, waste management), permitting and compliance monitoring, sampling (water, wastewater, soil, chemical waste), Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments, asbestos and lead paint abatement, chemical exposure monitoring, noise assessment, respirator fit testing, and IAQ/mold investigations including COVID-19 sampling and infection control planning.

CEI's service catalog extends into structured training programs covering HAZWOPER (8-hour Operations, 24-hour Technician, 8-hour Refresher), DOT HM-181 hazardous materials, RCRA hazardous waste management, asbestos O&M, SWPPP development, mold awareness, and general environmental regulatory compliance. The Quality Consulting Division delivers ISO 9001, AS 9100, TS 16949, and ISO 14001 management system development, internal audits, and employee training, with ISO 14001 Lead Auditor capability and a partnership with JAS & Associates, Inc. extending the practice. Underlying technology is non-proprietary: the firm is explicitly a professional services organization with no software platform, API, or proprietary tooling — delivery is human-led on-site consulting and training.

The business model is sales-led with direct engagement of enterprise clients. Revenue is generated through project-based consulting engagements and certificate-bearing training courses, priced via custom quotes against project scope with a multi-year contract cadence. There is no public pricing, no digital distribution channel, and no reseller network. The company markets through its website, downloadable brochures, training program listings, and IAQA (Indoor Air Quality Association) membership. Headcount is not publicly disclosed; named key staff include an Environmental Manager, Lead Industrial Hygienist, Lead Training Instructor, a Quality Management Consultant via partner JAS & Associates, and an ISO 14001 Lead Auditor. The firm is independently owned with no disclosed parent, institutional investors, or M&A activity.
