The prudent risk management of site contamination and hazardous materials during construction projects is a frequent project management activity and task during today’s complex construction projects.  In fact, BioMax Environmental regularly consults with many large and small construction companies in California to effectively manage these environmental health and safety risks ands project specific issues.  In fact, BioMax’s Certified Industrial Hygiene professionals have provided frequent project oversight and review of site contamination present on many projects such as the Genentech Research Facility sites currently under construction and redevelopment in South San Francisco (managed by Dome Construction Company), as well as the San Francisco Mission Bay redevelopment sites managed by Nibbi Brothers Contractors.

Professional services provided by BioMax on construction projects include regular consultation through the review and interpretation of soil, groundwater, and soil vapor sampling data to determine applicable site-specific safety procedure requirements and controls (as needed) during the performance of site work.  Site sampling data are thoroughly compared to current environmental standards and guidelines (such as PRGs CHHSLs, ESLs, etc.) and worker protection standards and guidelines (such as Cal/OSHA and Federal OSHA standards) so as to protect site workers, subcontractors, the public and the environment.  BioMax’s Certified Industrial Hygienists also regularly prepare detailed Site-Specific Environmental Health and Safety Plan(EHASP) documents and Site Safety and Health Plan (SSHP) documents as required by regulatory agencies such as Cal/EPA, DTSC, RWQCB, all California Air Quality Management Districts, local cities, and municipalities.  Managing environmental health and safety risk through the prudent compliance with such regulatory standards and requirements also protects the administrative needs of the contractors, clients and owners alike with the ultimate end goal of a successful and safe project.
