Services for Campus Construction & Maintenance Projects
We provide project teams with:
- Pre-project hazard reviews
- Regulatory compliance guidance (AHERA, Cal/OSHA, EPA)
- Assistance interpreting building survey findings
- Recommendations for work practices, controls, and required notifications
Our team conducts or coordinates:

All sampling is performed according to accredited laboratory methods and industry standards.
Following assessment, we issue clear, actionable guidance:

- Waste handling and disposal requirements
- Protective equipment needs
- Clearance criteria and post-work verification
The IH team works with Project Managers, Facilities, and contractors to:
