ASBESTOS/LEAD-CONTAINING PAINT
MartinEnviro can provide the following services for Asbestos and Lead-Containing Paint:
- Surveys
- Operation and Management Plans
- Clearance Air and Surface Sampling
- Abatement Management
ASBESTOS
MartinEnviro can complete asbestos surveys in order to accurately ascertain the potential for ACM within a building. Upon detection of any ACM within a building, an abatement or monitoring plan can be devised and coordinated by MartinEnviro. Upon completion of the abatement activities, we can conduct clearance air and surface sampling to ensure completeness of the removal and clean-up operations.
LEAD
MartinEnviro can evaluate your painted surfaces to determine the amount of lead in the paint and develop a comprehensive service plan that includes:
- Design and development of remediation projects
- Assistance in prioritizing the lead based paint to be abated
- Estimating the cost of abatement (including material replacement)
- Development of project drawings and bid documents for contractor selection
- Establishment of a project schedule
- Recommending practical alternative solutions
We can provide project design and project site surveillance for abatement procedures. Additionally we can provide clearance air sampling and waste disposal coordination.

CHEMICAL EXPOSURE
MartinEnviro's trained staff can monitor chemical exposure in air and other mediums. By using state of the art technologies and the most current sampling methodologies, we can determine the level of chemical exposure in the workplace and evaluate the results with respect to OSHA and ACGIH exposure limits. MartinEnviro can then make the appropriate recommendations for your facility. Evaluation and control of chemical exposure in the workplace are major components of an effective Safety and Health Program.
Everyone who works with chemicals should know the chemical name, as well as brand or trade name of each chemical or chemical mixture, their health hazards, and other hazards such as fire or explosion. Employers are required by law to provide this information, along with training in how to use chemicals safely. MartinEnviro can develop written Hazard Communication Standard (Hazcom) procedures for all activities involving chemicals, including how to handle spills.

INDOOR AIR QUALITY SAMPLING/EVALUATIONS
Concerns regarding Indoor Air quality (IAQ) have been on the rise in the recent years as energy conservation measures have come to the forefront. IAQ, a term referring to the air quality within and around buildings and structures, can be affected by microbial contaminants (mold, bacteria), gases (including carbon monoxide, radon, and volatile organic compounds), particulates, or other contaminants that can induce adverse health conditions. MartinEnviro can design a sample planning, evaluate the data, provide a corrective action plan, and manage the abatement and remediation process, whether for a homeowner or a large manufacturing complex.

MOLD AND MICROBIOLOGICAL SAMPLING & ABATEMENT
Mold, a common IAQ issue, can represent a potentially significant health hazard for building occupants. Mold assessment is the process of identifying the location and extent of the mold hazard in a structure, while mold remediation is the process of removal and/or cleanup of mold from the indoor environmental. Put MartinEnviro's extensive experience in assessment and remediation management to work for you.

INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE
Industrial Hygiene is defined as the "science and art devoted to the anticipation, recognition, evaluation, prevention, and control of those environmental factors or stresses arising in or from the workplace which may cause sickness, impaired health and well being, or significant discomfort among workers or among citizens of the community." From to evaluating risks to expert witness testimony, MartinEnviro partners with its clients to prevent occupational illness and reduce liabilities associated with exposures to hazardous substances and noise.

HAZARDOUS WASTE OPERATIONS & EMERGENCY RESPONSE (HAZWOPER)
The U.S. OSHA Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) regulation (29 CFR 1910.120), which became effective in March of 1990, regulates the safety and health of employees associated with hazardous waste facilities. In 1978, the Love Canal disaster and Valley of the Drums awakened America to the need to control and contain hazardous waste in the United States. Two programs, CERCLA, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, and RCRA, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 were implemented to deal with these wastes. CERCLA, also known as the Superfund, was designed to deal with already existing waste sites while RCRA was designed to deal with newly generated wastes.
MartinEnviro provides 40 and 24-hour training courses and annual 8-hour refresher courses. Please contact us for additional information on training courses in regards to OSHA’s HAZWOPER regulation.
