Practical Expertise for Complex Industrial Operations
Appalachian EHS & Process Safety Consulting, LLC brings together experience in industrial safety, process safety, professional engineering, and management systems to help organizations solve problems and build lasting operational capability. Headquartered in Charleston, West Virginia, we support clients throughout the Appalachian region and nationwide through onsite and remote engagements.
Our team’s background spans chemical manufacturing, oil and gas, mining, heavy industry, port operations, aerospace, and defense. We bring experience leading programs, managing facilities, supporting capital projects, and preparing operations for startup. That experience shapes our approach: recommendations must be technically sound, practical to implement, and useful to the people responsible for the work.
Connected Expertise
Industrial challenges rarely fit neatly within one discipline. Equipment reliability affects process safety. Project decisions influence maintenance and operating risk. Leadership practices shape whether employees raise concerns and whether organizations learn from them.
Appalachian EHS connects EHS and process safety leadership with mechanical and chemical engineering expertise. Our capabilities include program development, compliance assessments, engineering evaluations, process troubleshooting, startup and commissioning support, ISO management systems, and environmental program alignment. We tailor each engagement to the problem, drawing on the disciplines needed to address it.
Cultural Engineering & HOP
Effective systems depend on how people lead, communicate, make decisions, and respond when work does not go as expected. Through Cultural Engineering, we help organizations apply Human and Organizational Performance (HOP) principles to those everyday practices.
Our approach combines leadership alignment, employee engagement, operational learning, and practical coaching. We help leaders understand the conditions influencing performance, strengthen the organization’s response to mistakes, and turn learning into improvements in how work is planned and performed.
Built to Work Beyond the Engagement
We believe a successful engagement leaves clients better equipped to manage their operations. Deliverables should establish clear ownership, practical expectations, and a workable path forward.
Whether we are evaluating equipment, strengthening a PSM program, supporting an internal audit, or coaching leaders, we focus on recommendations that fit the facility and systems that remain useful after our work is complete.
