Welcome

IAQ experts utilize a variety of tools when conducting indoor air quality assessments, which are crucial for effective asbestos project management. This toolkit includes a moisture meter in pin or scan mode, a thermal imaging camera to detect temperature differences in substrates, direct-read instruments for measuring temperature, relative humidity, and various gases, as well as the commonly used high-powered flashlight. These tools are essential for comprehensive industrial hygiene services.

Sampling may not always be necessary to determine if a building has an air quality issue, but it can be beneficial during indoor air quality assessments. This sampling may occur before, during, or after decontamination efforts as part of our industrial hygiene services. We utilize various methods, including aerosolized biologicals, surface contact sampling, dust monitoring, and gas sampling, to gather relevant data, especially in asbestos project management.

Remediation support typically involves project management services, including asbestos project management and consulting. A comprehensive project design is crafted as a remediation guidance document, which aids the remediation contractor in both bidding for the project and executing it according to industry standards. During the remediation phase, an industrial hygienist may conduct indoor air quality assessments and monitor the progress to ensure the work aligns with the established project design.

Personal exposure monitoring for air contaminants is conducted in the breathing zone of workers, and is essential for effective asbestos project management. The results of these assessments are compared to Occupational Exposure Limits set by OSHA, NIOSH, and ACGIH. The number of individual sampling media devices used during exposure monitoring is determined by the recommended flow rates and maximum sample volumes for the substances of concern, which is a critical aspect of indoor air quality assessments and industrial hygiene services.

During construction activities, such as soils that are excavated, trenched, filled or graded have the potential to become airborne causing a hazard.  Dust and other particulates and organic compounds are monitored to actively assess the effectiveness of control measures. Realtime monitoring downwind and along the fenceline provides added assurance of safety measures for the workers as well as the surrounding communities.

We are here to help you identify, assess and mitigate general safety hazards associated with your work.   

Examples of hazards include falls from heights, slips/trips/falls, exposure to hazardous energy, chemical exposure, impact, pinch points, heat/cold stress, thermal burns, noise exposure, ergonomic risks, etc.
