ESP conducts visual inspections and clearance air testing to confirm that no visible debris remains and airborne fibre levels meet acceptable limits. Final clearance is documented in accordance with the Alberta Occupational Health and Safety Code before the area is approved for re-occupancy.

Industrial/occupational hygiene is the practice of identifying, assessing, and controlling workplace hazards such as airborne contaminants, noise, and chemical exposures that may impact worker health. It helps your facility maintain regulatory compliance, reduce exposure risks, and implement effective controls through monitoring, hazard assessments, and practical recommendations.

Exposure monitoring should be conducted whenever there is potential for hazardous exposure, such as during new processes, changes in materials or equipment, asbestos or lead remediation or when required by the Alberta Occupational Health and Safety Code. Routine monitoring may also be scheduled periodically based on the level of risk and prior assessment results to ensure ongoing compliance and worker safety.

An IAQ assessment typically involves a site inspection, evaluation of ventilation systems, and measurement of airborne contaminants such as mould spores, dust, and chemical pollutants. It may also include temperature, humidity, and airflow assessments, along with laboratory analysis of collected samples when required. Findings are documented with recommendations to improve air quality and ensure compliance with your local regulations.

It’s a pre-renovation/demolition survey to identify and locate hazardous building materials like asbestos, lead, PCBs, mercury, ozone-depleting substances, and crystalline silica. Most jurisdictions require this before any work that could disturb these materials.

Mould and microbial concerns are assessed through a detailed visual inspection, moisture evaluation, and targeted air and surface sampling where necessary to determine the type and extent of contamination. Laboratory analysis confirms microbial levels, followed by a risk-based interpretation of findings. Management recommendations are then provided, including moisture control, remediation procedures, and post-remediation verification to ensure safe indoor conditions.
