EHS Excellence Consulting

What EHS Excellence Consulting does

EHS Excellence Consulting LLC is a privately held, full-service environmental, safety, health, and security consulting firm founded in 2003 and headquartered in Iselin, New Jersey. The firm specializes in OSHA's Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP) and claims a 100% success rate, having helped 89 client facilities achieve VPP Star certification. Its service catalog spans VPP consulting, safety program development, industrial hygiene, process safety management (PSM), emergency response, regulatory citation assistance, incident investigation, and security/counter-terrorism services, delivered on a project or retainer basis to enterprise clients in chemicals, energy, manufacturing, construction, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, and government.

The firm has built a proprietary software stack around the VPP and EHS compliance workflow. The Stargazer® family (VPP, OSHA, PSM, and general) provides gap analysis and audit reporting against OSHA requirements, with Star Tracker® (Training Tracker and Action Item Tracker) extending into recordkeeping and corrective-action management, and StarLearner® delivering online regulatory training. These tools are described as patent-pending and have been designated "Best Practices" by OSHA. The firm publishes reference books (including works by Brian Bennett on VPP and terrorism response) and maintains an active conference presence at VPPPA, Ohio Safety Congress, and hazardous-materials events.

The business model is professional services revenue augmented by software licensing. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with engagements structured as single-consultant or team deployments on daily, weekly, monthly, or annual terms. The team of four founding partners (Brian Bennett, Norman Deitch, Tom Aurelia, Allan Jenney) and nine named consultants (including several former OSHA officials) provides the firm's primary differentiation: a blend of regulatory insiders and private-sector operators, supporting a vertically oriented go-to-market strategy concentrated in Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, and Midwest US, with select international engagements.
