Failure to follow environmental regulations can result in severe consequences, ranging from monetary fines and civil lawsuits to criminal charges and even imprisonment. Disobeying environmental laws can also harm an organization's reputation. To avoid these negative outcomes, it’s important to understand the regulations that apply to a specific situation and take all necessary steps to comply with the law. Having an effective environmental management system in place can help businesses identify any potential risk of non-compliance, allowing them to implement corrective actions before regulatory issues arise.

Failure to follow environmental regulations can result in fines and other costly consequences. EPA enforcement includes the potential for criminal penalties, civil sanctions, and mandatory corrective action to protect human health and environment from potentially harmful contamination. To avoid these consequences, it is important to review the regulations applicable to your operations, determine applicable levels of compliance, establish an effective compliance system (e.g., process control plans), training employees on standards and regulations for safe operations, and implementing monitoring systems or other forms of measurement as necessary for verifying compliance with relevant regulations.
