Since 1984 The Environmental Assessment and Management (TEAM) Guide has played an integral part in identifying potential compliance problems before they are cited as a violation by the USEPA. The Guide combines Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs) and management practices (MPs) into a series of checklists that show legal requirements and the specific operations or items to review. Since the initial release, all 50 states have developed parallel supplements, which combine using existing state environmental legislation and regulations, as well as suggested management practices, to assist the organizations EHS personnel in the execution of EHS assessments. State TEAM Guides are updated on an annual basis.

TEAM Guide addresses compliance in the areas of air quality, cultural resources, environmental management systems (EMS), hazardous materials, hazardous waste, natural resources, environmental program management (including NEPA), pesticide management, pollution prevention, petroleum, oils and lubricants (POL), storage tanks, solid waste management, toxic substances (PCBs, asbestos, radon, lead-based paint), wastewater, water quality/drinking water, and Executive Order (EO) 13423. Over 16 Federal Agencies use the TEAM Guide and its Supplements.
