Warehouses and distribution centers today handle an ever-growing mix of products: regulated goods, defective goods, damaged materials, and more. A 3PL compliance gap analysis helps teams spot where EHS controls, waste handling, and documentation are starting to drift. This can be complex enough before considering returns logistics and customer-specific packaging requirements. And as operations scale, so do the number of touchpoints where Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) responsibilities emerge—often outside of any formal EHS program. In third party logistics operations, a 3PL compliance gap analysis can reveal the hidden places where responsibility falls between operations, safety, transportation, and waste management.
