Permits are issued by Federal, State, and Local agencies depending on the type of work being conducted. The process has been streamlined to an extent, however can be challenging for many companies to sort through the process. A company could apply for an Environmental Permit, but need to halt work or production due to the wrong permit being acquired, or the wrong level of output allowed. This can result in a loss of production or sales, high unutilized labor cost and equipment rentals. These events can cause the skyrocketing of the cost of production and demolishing any thin margin that might have once existed.
Heavy fines could result if the levels of output exceed the threshold set by the Environmental Permit. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) takes this matter extremely seriously and does not allow for overage. Particulates in the emissions must be continually measured to ensure that levels are not dangerously high.
Most of the Environmental Permits applied for are overwhelmingly to release emissions into the air. These levels are closely watched due to the devastating effects that air emissions can have on the surrounding environment. Acid rain could result from a high concentration of certain particulates in the air. The acid rain can destroy crops or property, as well as injure or kill people and animals in the surrounding community.

Occupational Health Overcomes Everyday Hazards
Many workers face different types of hazards on a daily basis. Each company has a responsibility to proactively protect their employees from hazards encountered in the workplace. Accidents or injuries can bring production to a halt, reduce the workforce while the employee is recovering and lead to costly worker compensation claims. A Certified Industrial Hygienist can help your company improve the Occupational Health present at your facility.
The Risk from Asbestos
Asbestos poses a major health risk in many office buildings and homes due to the wide adoption and usage of asbestos as an insulator in the construction process. Asbestos can be found in the glue beneath vinyl flooring or in material applied to concrete to regulate the temperature between floors in an office building. These buildings and homes are being remodeled and modernized as an update to the space, but the demolition process can be hazardous if asbestos is present. Test for asbestos prior to starting your next remodeling project to ensure workers are safe.
Communicating the Dangers with HazCom
Hazard Communication focuses on explaining the dangers present at the workplace. The employees have a right to understand the hazards present and how to remain safe on the jobsite. A Certified Industrial Hygienist can work with your company to fulfill the HazCom requirement set forth by OSHA.
