About the Compliance Assistance Office

Establishment

The Compliance Assistance Office (CAO) was established within the Department of Health in 1998 to help small businesses overcome the hurdles they face in their efforts to succeed in business while following environmental regulations.

CAO Mission

  • Promote communication between DOH and Small Businesses, and help distribute materials explaining regulations to Small Businesses;

  • Intercede in disputes between Small Business and DOH;

  • Promote inclusion of Small Business perspective in rule-making; and

  • Work with DOH staff to increase their understanding of small businesses.

CAO Staff

The office is staffed by an Environmental Ombudsman and an Environmental Secretary. With such a small staff, we rely heavily on a team of staff from the various regulatory offices who have expertise in the full range of environmental topics.
