Industrial Hygiene Services:

Industrial hygiene is the discipline focused on the anticipation, recognition, evaluation, and control of workplace or community hazards that may threaten human health. OSHA and MSHA establish the legal standards that employers must adhere to in order to safeguard employees against health hazards and hazardous materials. ACT Environmental aids clients in the anticipation, identification, assessment, and management of these health hazards. We prioritize the development of practical measures that are both technically sound and economically viable for implementation. Our Industrial Hygiene services encompass:

  • Monitoring and control of chemical, physical, and microbial exposures.
  • Development of Respiratory Protection Programs.
  • Development of Hazard Communication Programs.
  • Creation of Health and Safety plans for hazardous waste remediation sites.
  • Evaluation of Ergonomic concerns related to repetitive tasks.
  • Monitoring and control of noise and heat.
  • Radiation monitoring and development of radiation health programs.
  • Deployment of trained, experienced, and certified site safety and health officers during site characterization and remediation.

Mold Remediation Oversight

Microbiological organisms, including bacteria and fungi, exist naturally worldwide. Under specific conditions, these organisms can proliferate within buildings, potentially causing allergic reactions in humans. Some of these organisms can also produce potent endotoxins and mycotoxins. ACT offers services related to microbiological contaminants, including:

  • Contaminant evaluation, encompassing surface and airborne contamination investigation and identification of organism genus/species.
  • Source identification, including the origin of nutrients and moisture, evaluation of ventilation systems, and prevention of outdoor intrusion.
  • Design of remediation activities, such as contamination removal, disinfection, and preventive measures.
  • Post-flood water intrusion evaluations, including the development of preventative action plans to mitigate microbiological growth.
Phase II ESA

Environmental Site Assessment/Environmental Engineering Services:

Phase II ESA

In compliance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), which delineates landowner and lender liability rules, most commercial property transactions include Phase I Environmental Site Assessments when purchasing contaminated land. ACT offers various Environmental Site Assessments under the guidance of our licensed Professional Engineer specialized in Environmental Engineering.

Environmental Engineering Services can encompass air permit compliance testing, Phase II Environmental Site Assessments, radon sampling, and mitigation consulting. Assessments of pesticide contamination, which encompass legacy pesticides, commonly referred to as persistent organic pollutants (POPs), entail the examination of chemical pesticides that were extensively employed in previous years. Several examples of these legacy pesticides comprise DDT (Dichloro-Diphenyl-Trichloroethane), Aldrin, Dieldrin, and Chlordane.
