How eCAP® Works

Signing up for an eCAP® is a simple and cost effective way to manage your compliance. Your eCAP® will begin with a team of experts experienced in your specific industry sector conducting a detailed compliance audit. Following the audit, the team will review the audit findings and prepare the audit report. Your assigned Account Manager will then work with you to select the appropriate modules that are applicable to your facility.

e-CAP Modules:

After implementing your eCAP®, you and your staff will have secured Internet access to an innovative, real-time electronic record management system that will detail your facilities reporting requirements, EH&S documents, and compliance reporting deadlines. Any of these items can be reviewed by you and/or your Account Manager 24-hours a day, even simultaneously.

In addition to the responsibilities completed under each module, your eCAP® Account Manager will provide routine site inspections on an ongoing basis and 24-hour technical support to respond to the compliance needs of your facility including supporting your facility during scheduled or unannounced regulatory agency inspections.

As you can see, eCAP® is a unique and powerful compliance management system designed to fit your specific needs. That is why it is considered the next generation of compliance management.
