State and federal environmental laws can impact many aspects of business operations. Some business owners are so concerned about potential liabilities that environmental issues can become deal-breakers. These laws regulate a variety of activities, including the handling of hazardous chemicals, the disposal of toxic waste, the construction of new facilities, and the rights of workers to know about the chemicals present in their workplaces. Familiarity with these laws and regulations can help informed business owners avoid significant future costs and liabilities associated with non-compliance. Additionally, businesses that adhere to environmental laws are more likely to prevent exposure to liability related to toxic torts.
