Integrated Science Solutions, Inc services

ISSi has extensive experience providing consultative and technical support in the areas of hazardous, radioactive, and solid waste management, pollution prevention, waste minimization, and recycling. Businesses today need to consider the total life cycle cost process for products including waste management issues. Federal agencies have a myriad of Executive orders and agency requirements to consider when deciding waste management issues. Waste management is a highly regulated industry with both federal and state specific requirements. The public demands and regulatory agencies have responded to detailed requirements in handling potential waste to ensure the safety of the environment or human population.

Reliable knowledge of ground properties and behavior is a prerequisite for the safety and economic performance of structures. Without adequate site investigation, ground is a hazard that may jeopardize a project and its environment. ISSi’s expert staff includes geologists and engineers who specialize in the interface between geology and engineering. Our registered and licensed professionals can address a wide array of technical problems related to interaction of engineering works and geology.

System Safety is implemented to perform a rigorous and systematic evaluation of a system’s hardware, facilities and operations. The prime objective of the System Safety program is to provide the safest possible working environment by identifying, analyzing, planning, tracking, and controlling risks. The primary tasks to achieve this objective are eliminating hazards, or minimizing and controlling hazards to an acceptable level.

ISSi is uniquely qualified to provide effective training with experienced instructors who are technical experts in the curriculum they teach. Environment, health, and safety training is vital to maintaining a safe and profitable workplace. ISSi provides the training necessary for employees to protect themselves from hazards in their workplace and to successfully perform specialized functions such as hazardous materials spill response.

Reducing a customer’s environmental footprint, providing assistance in pollution prevention, and reducing risk and costs are cornerstones of a strong Sustainability Program. ISSi has extensive experience providing these services to several federal customers. ISSi has detailed how to reduce potable water use, provided waste minimization strategies, conducted pollutions prevention opportunity assessments, and conducted audits to reduce energy consumption.

ISSi’s health physicists, radiation safety specialists, and nuclear engineers are dedicated to protecting people and the environment from potential radiation hazards, while at the same time making it possible to reap the many benefits from ionizing radiation. ISSi professionals bring extensive experience in all aspects of radiation safety including research and medical use of radioisotopes and x-rays, nuclear power generation, radioactive waste management, radiological emergency response, military nuclear power programs, preparation and management of Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) license applications, and radiation safety training.

Quality health and safety audits are essential tools that contribute to the well-being and profitability of an organization. Safety audits are used to determine a facility’s compliance with Federal, State, and local statutes and regulations. Safety audits also are used to identify and mitigate risks to the health and safety of an employer’s workforce and the facilities and equipment an organization operates. ISSi conducts audits for our clients to define liabilities, to prevent or reduce the probability of severe accidents, to evaluate compliance and provide cost-effective compliance solutions, and to assure the public and the facility’s workforce that our clients are responsible members of their communities.

ISSi’s customers require numerous technical and management work products (deliverables) that are tracked, prepared and submitted through information management (IM) and information technology (IT) systems. IT and IM requirements include the management and maintenance of furnished databases and other authorized software, the procurement of software, and the development of proprietary software. ISSi also inputs data, maintains data, generates reports, trains customers on its use. At the conclusion of a contract, all software and data contents, including supporting documentation, is turned over to customer. For example, ISSi maintains a computer database for tracking of hazardous waste pickups and management costs (including labor, materials, transportation, analytical lab costs, disposal site charges, etc.).

ISSi is experienced in developing and implementing IT Security protocols for our customers’ network systems. ISSi conducts risk assessments that combine knowledge of business objectives, information flow, safeguard requirements, network architecture, and operational policies and procedures. The result is an identification of critical assets, an understanding of your internal and external threats, and a prioritized set of cost-effective risk-mitigation measures.
