Compliance with environmental, health and safety (EHS) regulations is essential in today’s world. At St.Germain, our senior scientists and professional engineers can help with all your compliance needs, from program development and maintenance to outsourcing or training.
It’s important to note that while asbestos-containing materials (ACM) are not usually a focus of environmental compliance, New Hampshire and Massachusetts had many 2021 ACM management violations cited with very high penalties. These violations were triggered by building renovation or demolition. If you need information on ACM and the regulation of these activities, or could use our help with any form of EHS compliance, please contact us at (207) 591-7000.
