Product manufacturers, marketers, and clients are challenged with significant investments of time and money when developing and launching pesticidal products. Critical decisions on marketing, efficacy claims and pesticidal mode of action determine regulatory registration track, required testing programs, and the ultimate path to market. Geosyntec has broad experience in the regulation and registration of all classes of pesticide products (conventional pesticides, biopesticides, and antimicrobials) and provides science-based, business-focused support to guide clients through decision making, product positioning, and ultimately registration and market introduction. Geosyntec's Pesticide Product Services supports clients with insightful, innovative solutions. Geosyntec's team of toxicologists, risk assessors, regulatory specialists, and chemists have extensive experience and knowledge of pesticide testing, submission, and label requirements under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). We know how to position projects for efficient registration review and processing, and how to avoid misinterpreted guidance, labels, and efficacy claims that can add months to review timeframes and can significantly increase costs. We can assist with navigating all areas of FIFRA including: Preparing a product/pesticide registration strategy Meeting with and advocating on behalf of companies with regulators Developing and submitting FIFRA registration packages, renewals, and label updates Product label content development Preparing inert ingredient petitions Developing data waivers and rationales Scoping, placing, and monitoring product toxicity, physical characteristic, and efficacy studies Responding to regulator requests Pesticide device strategy, claims, data, and regulatory tracking State-level registrations Geosyntec and our wholly-owned SiREM lab manage data generation for new product registrations and amending existing products, particularly for antimicrobial products. Geosyntec and SiREM provide in-depth analytical consulting support covering toxicology studies and antimicrobial efficacy testing. SiREM provides Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) standard antimicrobial testing (i.e., bacteria and virus) to support required testing and methods under FIFRA. The Geosyntec and SiREM team allows for expert level review and strategy development of testing programs, as well as expedited access to efficacy testing, which can save months in registration timelines.

Clients are faced with chemical risks throughout their business products, facilities, and supply chains.

Whether it's due to customer, shareholder, or regulator-requirements, transitional workforce challenges, or some other reason, organizations are seeking to develop, implement, maintain, and improve upon their systems for environmental, safety and health, and sustainability management. Limited resources and management system expertise within the organizations can be a road block. Geosyntec's comprehensive understanding of our clients' operations paired with our expertise in management system development and implementation allow us to provide our clients with innovative and cost-effective solutions for identifying, prioritizing, and managing more efficiently the environmental, safety and health, and sustainability risks and opportunities associated with their operations. Our management system experts offer clients a broad array of services, including policy development support, system element gap analysis, document and training material development, performance monitoring data analysis, trending, and visualization, information management system design and optimization, system auditing, nonconformance correction planning including root cause analysis, and management review and third-party certification preparation. Our projects routinely involve organizations with multiple and varied facilities, multi-cultural stakeholders, and transient workforces. Through our work, Geosyntec's clients improve performance and achieve their operational goals. Geosyntec's management system implementation programs are tailored to meet the needs of each client resulting in a smooth integration and minimized operational disruption. Geosyntec's strategy for new management systems is to learn about existing processes and procedures and develop a simple manual that cross-references to other processes and programs within the organization. We then work with the organization to customize the system and procedures. A management system developed in partnership with Geosyntec is a good fit from the start and is flexible to evolve with the organization. For our clients with existing management systems, Geosyntec offers support with routine auditing and maintenance, system improvement, gap analysis with updated standards, developing and implementing corrective actions, and transitioning to new and/or revised standards. Our management system specialists include individuals with technical expertise across a broad range of disciplines who have studied and are training in management systems and who have worked in industry under management systems. We have experience with systems that conform to the ISO, OHSAS, RC, and EPA compliance-focused management system standards. The ISO 14001 standard for Environmental Management and the ISO 45001 standard for Occupational Safety and Health are widely used in manufacturing. Geosyntec is experienced in performing gap analyses of existing systems to determine what steps are needed to comply with these standards. We also perform internal audits, develop site-specific lists of legal requirements, develop standard operating procedures, and assist with corrective and preventative actions to improve management systems.
