Environmental, Health And Safety

MGGM has established a sophisticated environmental, health and safety practice as it has counseled individual and business interests on wide ranging issues of vital concern affecting the welfare and safety of the clients we represent.

We counsel clients regarding regulatory compliance pertaining to state and federal laws such as the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA) (including Title V Permit Applications), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), and the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). MGGM is counsel to many domestic and international companies, representing their interests in complex federal and state personal injury and property damage toxic tort litigation. This includes claims related to asbestos and silica, among other substances, both within and outside the State of Ohio. We also counsel clients on implementation and guidance under international regulations including Europe's WEEE and RoHS standards.

MGGM counsels clients who are seeking to obtain regulatory approval of practical, flexible permits to install (PTI) and permits to operate (PTO) applications.

We also assist clients seeking to protect their employees and assure safe and healthy work environments. We counsel in the areas of OSHA compliance, and work with clients and consultants to air quality and noise monitoring to assure compliance with, or exceed, current standards and requirements.
