Mould Assessment and Water Damage Services
Mould growth within indoor environments can lead to potentially serious health effects in susceptible individuals, such as the young and elderly, as well as immuno-compromised individuals. Conditions conducive to the onset of mould growth should be corrected as soon as possible to avoid potential issues related to building maintenance and occupant health.
Designated Substances Services
During renovation, repair or demolition activities the disturbance of designated substances is possible. EMI can assist you in determining the existence and location of building materials containing substances such as asbestos, lead, mercury, silica, etc. within your workplace and develop management or remediation strategies in any given situation. It is the building owner’s responsibility to determine the location of hazardous materials and designated substances prior to disturbing building materials during demolition or renovation activities. There are eleven designated substances which are of particular concern due their ability to cause serious occupational illnesses. Let us assist you in making your project safe and successful.
Occupational Hygiene Services
Occupational Hygiene is generally defined as the art and science dedicated to the anticipation, recognition, evaluation, communication and control of environmental stressors in, or arising from, the workplace that may result in injury, illness, impairment, or affect the well being of workers and members of the community. These stressors are divided into different categories including biological, chemical, physical, ergonomic and psychosocial. Our specialists will effectively assess your unique issues and provide a cost effective solution using a “hierarchy of controls”, which generally consist of elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls or personal protective equipment. Successful identification of hazards and implementation of control measures is our business.
Fire Damage Services
Fire damage to properties not only creates significant physical damage, but also results in the release of an abundance of chemical compounds into the environment, which require specific attention during remediation. For example, hazardous materials such as PCBs may be released during an electrical fire involving transformer equipment, asbestos-containing building materials may be involved, lead-containing paints could be present, mercury-containing components may be present, etc. In addition, extinguishing methods employed by first responders may leave the area directly affected or surrounding areas susceptible to mould growth.
Water Quality Testing Services
The quality of water being dispensed, consumed or used in our recreational lives is of the utmost importance in maintaining safe eco-systems and ensuring safe potable water sources for human consumption. It is the chemicals, microbiological organisms and organic/inorganic contaminants that can pose serious health effects to a population. Water quality testing should be performed routinely and conducted in accordance with applicable regulations and guidelines.
Indoor Air Quality Services
Indoor air quality issues may stem from simple HVAC system setting adjustments to significant design deficiencies. In either case poor indoor air quality may lead to occupant discomfort or potential health effects in sensitive individuals, which in turn will result in poor productivity and potential friction between occupants and building management personnel.
Clandestine Drug Lab Assessments (Meth Labs) Services
The term “Clandestine Lab” is generally used in any situation involving the production of illicit compounds, regardless of whether the facilities being used qualify as a true laboratory. The primary drug produced in these laboratories is Methamphetamine (Meth Lab). Residential dwellings or mobile laboratories become significantly contaminated during the cooking process from the various chemical compounds used as precursors, as well as the final products themselves. Our consultants can provide assessments to determine the scope of contamination, develop an appropriate remediation plan and provide post-remediation inspection and testing services to ensure that the building is fit for occupancy.
Environmental Services
An environmental site assessment is a report prepared for a real estate holding that identifies potential or existing environmental contamination liabilities. The assessment is often called an ESA and typically addresses both the underlying land as well as physical improvements to the property. ESA’s are generally performed in two stages (Phase I and Phase II), with remediation following in Phase III if warranted.
