With carbon emissions rising and pollution at an all-time high, it’s more important now than ever for you to be meeting with an environmental consultant. No matter what size business you operate, new regulations and policies are becoming more restrictive, putting you at risk of facing major penalties. We want to highlight some of the most common situations that should merit a call of assistance for an environmental consultant.
Property Purchase
Are you looking at acquiring a new piece of land? Supposing you are, have you conducted a site assessment beforehand? Before you make the final decision, you should know that any environmental issues on the property could become your liability, whether you know it or not! With a site assessment, consultants will provide a full investigation to try and identify contaminated soil or water, suspect materials (mold, lead-based paint), and the idea of further remediation if need be. Keep this in mind next time you see property that you think might suit a new location or similar interests.
Following Current & Future Laws
With the government stepping up to protect the environment, new regulations and policies have to be followed. These are affecting businesses across every industry. A consultant can help you determine which ones apply to your operation and how you can stay compliant to avoid legal punishment. Penalties can rack up to thousands of dollars per day, why risk it? With hundreds of businesses making an attempt to “go green,” you’ll be setting a positive example for customers and other locations alike.
Testing & Management
In the event that you come in contact with suspect materials, environment consultants can help remediate the problem so business is back to normal! This includes experience with a variety of materials, including asbestos, mold, lead, and much more. Consultants can help find the source of the problem and resolve the issue within due time, avoiding further complications that could grow out of hand.
