Avoiding Environmental Setbacks During Construction Webinar: February 25, 2021

Presented by Matt Laneville, B.E.S. 

March 3, 2021

ECOH’s webinar included discussions on a variety of topics related to environmental, health and safety (EH&S) issues encountered on construction projects. Matt Laneville highlighted the impacts of unaddressed issues and the best approaches to control potential setbacks, using a number of case studies to demonstrate real-world examples of good (and bad) practices.

ECOH’s Expertise

ECOH is committed to providing excellent and timely services to assist you in identifying potential EH&S concerns, prior to construction, to minimize negative outcomes related to, for example:

· Asbestos

· Lead

· Abandoned Chemicals and Laboratories

· Wastewater

· Mould

· PCB’s

These EH&S concerns can have potentially negative impacts on a project, such as:

· Worker health and safety hazards

· Project delays

· Cost overruns

· Regulatory non-compliance (potentially leading to order, stop-work orders, fines, etc.)

To avoid environmental setbacks during a project, ECOH emphasizes and promotes the following:

· Proper training for individuals

· Pre-construction surveys of hazardous materials and reviews of planned construction activities

· Development of safe work procedures and use of engineering controls
