Ryan Hellman founded H&A in 1998 and has built it into a full-service EHS consultancy that offers an innovative business model: providing companies with annual partnerships that guarantee regulatory compliance.
Ryan’s vision is to balance risk management and compliance with internal cost savings, timely service, and common sense. To this end, he has continually expanded and improved H&A to meet the growing and evolving needs of his clients. Since its inception, Ryan has grown H&A’s consultant base to 20 industry-leading EHS professionals, upgraded the company’s headquarters to a large facility with custom-built onsite training facilities, and achieved recognition as the first and only EHS consulting business in OSHA Region VIII and one of just three safety consultancies in the country to earn Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) Star status from OSHA.
Ryan’s attentiveness to client challenges has led to the development of value-added offerings including increased regulatory compliance coverage beyond just OSHA and the creation of H&A’s proprietary ASSUREDCompliance Software™ that enables companies to easily manage complex, multi-site requirements.
Ryan’s success implementing a new approach to safety that meets the needs of companies of all sizes has earned him respect as an entrepreneur and strategic thinker in safety culture development. He is a published author and active in bringing safety to the forefront in his community.
