Asbestos Testing & Inspection Services
Asbestos testing and inspection services ensure the safety and well-being of individuals exposed to asbestos-containing materials. In New York State, the Department of Labor has specific rules and regulations to ensure the safe testing, handling, and removal of asbestos. Asbestos testing and inspection services for buildings or properties require hiring professionals who are appropriately trained and certified in asbestos inspection and management.
The Greenlight team is fully licensed by the New York State Department of Labor's Asbestos Safety Program, which oversees asbestos-related work and enforces regulations. Failure to comply with New York State requirements can result in significant fines, retesting of the site, and, perhaps most important, delays in your project that can cost your organization time and money. You can count on the Greenlight team to deliver comprehensive testing and accurate results so you can make informed decisions on asbestos management.
Lead Testing & Inspection Services
Lead testing helps to identify the presence of lead and assess its contamination level. Lead inspections are carried out to evaluate older buildings, homes, or other structures for lead-based paint or other potential sources of lead exposure. Lead exposure can occur through ingestion, inhalation, or absorption through the skin and poses a serious health threat in older structures.
The Greenlight team is fully certified offering over 30 years of expertise and advanced equipment to conduct accurate lead testing and provide comprehensive inspection reports. Perhaps as important, we stay with you throughout the abatement process, ensuring that the site is clear of all lead contaminants to protect you, your client, and, most importantly, the people you serve.
Safety Site Audits
Regular safety audits are integral to ensuring sites are kept to the highest safety standard and peak operational efficiency. However, according to a survey conducted by BLR, only 42.4% of construction sites performed weekly site inspections. In other industries, even less.
New York State safety audit requirements vary depending on the industry and the specific regulations applicable to each sector. Safety audits in New York typically involve evaluating a company's compliance with health and safety regulations, ensuring that necessary measures are in place to protect workers and the public.
To obtain comprehensive information about safety audit requirements specific to your industry, the Greenlight team can help guide you through the specific regulations applicable to your business, utilizing our five-step process: 1) Audit Preparation; 2) Conducting the Audit, 3) Audit Report & Recommended Actions; 4) Setting Corrective Action Priorities; 5) Publishing Audit Results.
Greenlight Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Auditing Services are performed by auditors with over 20 years of experience and a proven track record handling multi-facility EHS audit projects under tight time constraints. Regular, in-depth Greenlight safety audits are a worthy investment that can pay big dividends for your organization in less downtime, increased efficiency, reduced injuries and improved operational insights.
Radon Testing
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, killing more people annually than drunk drivers. The radon testing process for commercial properties is more complex than residential radon testing. It is a specialized process that requires hiring a licensed professional with commercial testing experience to ensure the process is completed correctly and accurately.
Greenlight is one of the top commercial radon testing and mitigation companies in New York State. Our testing specialists are all licensed with the New York Department of Health and have the necessary training and experience to complete commercial property radon testing and mitigation services. It is not too late if you own a commercial property and have never had your building tested.
You can rely on the Greenlight team to guide you through the process and help ensure you provide a safe, healthy environment for the people who spend time in your building.
Soil Sampling
Soil testing requirements for new development in New York State can vary depending on the specific location and the nature of the development project to ensure the site meets the necessary standards for the intended development.
Several aspects may be considered during soil testing, including assessing soil fertility, compaction, drainage, and potential contamination. The specific requirements and recommended tests can be outlined in the local building codes, regulations, or ordinances of the municipality where the development occurs.
The NYS-certified Greenlight team collects samples from various depths and locations on a site. These samples are then analyzed in the laboratory to determine the soil's characteristics and suitability for construction. The Greenlight team follows the specific guidelines set by the the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) for soil sampling.
PCB Testing
Polychlorinated biphenyls, better known as PCBs, are a group of chemical compounds that were widely used in various industrial and commercial applications until their production was banned in many countries due to their harmful effects on the environment and human health. Toxic to fish, birds and mammals, PCBs are persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that do not easily break down and accumulate in the environment and the food chain over time. PCBs have been linked to various health problems, including developmental and neurological disorders, immune system deficiencies, and certain cancers.
Due to the harmful effects of PCBs and their persistence in the environment, regulations have been put in place on the use, production, disposal, and cleanup of PCBs and efforts to remediate contaminated sites and control their release into the environment.
The Greenlight team can help guide you through the regulations and applies a structured sampling and testing process to help you identify and mitigate any PCB-related challenges. This process includes: sampling, extraction, sample cleanup, analysis, identification/quantification and reporting. Specific details and requirements may vary depending on the laboratory, regulations, and purpose of the testing. The Greenlight team will guide you through the relevant guidelines to deliver comprehensive, accurate results.
