SUMMARY
Global
has been providing industrial hygiene and environmental consulting
services to nearly 164 public schools in the District of Columbia for
the past year on an on-call and time and materials basis. Under this
contract, our services have ranged from asbestos and lead based paint
abatement oversight, mold remediation oversight, drinking water
sampling, indoor air quality assessment, nuisance dust testing, to UST
Closures and soil and groundwater sampling,. We also provide emergency
response services where our personnel have responded to on-site
situations within a very short window of time, often one hour or less.
Some of
the tasks completed under this contract include but are not limited
to:
 |
Drinking
Water Sampling: Our inspectors were sent out to various schools
early in the mornings to get the 1st sample from the water
fountains and taps. After a couple of minutes of allowing the
water to run, a 2nd sample was also collected. These samples were
then analyzed for lead and copper levels. A report with all the
finding and recommendations was then provided to the client.. |
|
Dust
Sampling: This involved testing the air for dust levels in several
rooms at a number of schools. Typically, such dust assessments
were done in response to occupant concerns to ensure that the
total (nuisance) dust in the air were below the OSHA Permissible
Exposure Limit (PEL). |
|
Indoor
Air Quality Assessments: Our industrial hygienist have conducted
assessments in various classrooms and areas of different schools
to establish ambient levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon
monoxide (CO), relative humidity (RH), and temperature. All
parameters had to fall within the Society of Heating,
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) recommended
guidelines. |
|
Mold
Remediation Oversight: This entailed the oversight of contractors
performing mold remediation at a number of different schools. Our
inspectors ensured that visible signs of mold were removed and the
levels of humidity were alleviated. |
|
Asbestos
and Lead Based Paint Removal Oversight: Our monitors ensured that
contractors properly removed of asbestos and lead based paint,
thus allowing the areas of the school to be safe for reoccupation.
|
All the
above tasks required the submission of reports that would summarize
all the findings and recommendations.
