New NH Life Sciences Member, Safety Partners, Streamlines Business Expansions with EHS Consulting
If you’re a life sciences business ready to scale up your testing and research, you want to keep working on your ideas, not get mired in procedural red tape. One of the newest members of NH Life Sciences (NHLS), Safety Partners has more than three decades of experience guiding businesses through the permitting process.
A subsidiary of Trinity Consultants, Safety Partners provides environmental, health and safety (EHS) expertise, with a special focus on life sciences companies.
Safety Partners was founded in Cambridge in the early 1990s in response to a growing demand for outsourced business support. It has since expanded into New York and now New Hampshire in response to those states’ expanding life sciences sectors.
Consultants with Safety Partners help biotech startups and worldwide companies support safety functions and life sciences compliance with municipal regulations.
The company has been a longtime member of MassBio and is bringing that proven model of success to the NHLS network.
Director of Sales and Marketing Lee Tetreault said that Safety Partners has taken note of the recent growth and cooperation in New Hampshire’s life sciences industry. As the company looked to scale, New Hampshire was an attractive market adjacent to its founding location. By joining NHLS, Safety Partners believed it would be better positioned to understand the needs of New Hampshire companies needing infrastructure support and be able to connect with industry leaders to highlight emerging trends and needs.
Safety Partners wants to engage with organizations that help make the life sciences economy thrive, with NHLS serving as a central hub.
Whether you’re a startup outgrowing your incubator space or a global company opening a new branch, the advantage of working with Safety Partners is a scalable solution for safety and life sciences compliance experts who are up to date on the latest regulatory requirements.
Safety Partners can help labs navigate permits for hazardous and flammable materials, waste handling and more. The consultants understand biological research complexities and will work with you to figure out what your company needs.
Particularly for smaller companies, Safety Partners offers a fractional safety officer model that is more cost-effective for those that don’t yet need full-time staff hire.
With awareness of the life sciences space in New Hampshire, Safety Partners can help identify appropriate lab spaces in receptive areas, close to the resources and supply chains that a company may need. It can guide the company through facility planning and buildouts. As development progresses, it can advise on future staffing needs, including lab managers, EHS officers and compliance leads, and later provide training to those hires.
Safety Partners is also well-versed in the care and regulations of animals in research facilities.
Amid all stages of development, Safety Partners can ensure that your business follows ever-evolving federal, state and local regulations, which is particularly important as NH legislation reacts to the maturing life sciences sector. Your staff can keep up to date with developments through Safety Partners’ webinars and training programs.
Safety Partners is prepared to support emerging life sciences companies with its deep industry knowledge in a region on the rise. It focuses on the safety and compliance so your biotech
company can home in on innovation. And as the NH life sciences ecosystem expands, it will make sure companies can scale up with confidence.
