About Us
BenTyler Enterprises was incorporated in 1993, and the staff of engineers and industry experts we employ are committed to providing the highest quality consulting work available today for clients with Environmental, Occupational Health & Safety, and Engineering problems to overcome. Our staff has, in total, well over 100 years of experience in industry, and we have used that experience to craft HazPlan, the solution to your hazardous materials inventory report hassles. Our team has drafted, edited, and filed the very same reports that HazPlan will produce for countless companies over the years, but they’ve created a piece of software to do it so you don’t have to hire them, or any other team of consultants, to complete them for you.
