Regulatory compliance can be daunting to manufacturers, no matter their size. Small, family-run shops or start-ups that don’t have dedicated compliance staff are at risk of penalties or recalls simply because a mandate was accidentally overlooked.
Even organizations that can hire teams of legal consultants are challenged by the volume of mandates, the overlapping scopes and complicated reporting and record keeping requirements. Outside assistance is almost always hired for some federal regulations like those governing hazardous waste disposal, income tax filings and employee health care.
