Environmental Safety Services

Keeping your workplace safe goes beyond PPE and fall protection. Air quality, hazardous materials, and environmental risks also play a huge role in worker safety and regulatory compliance. At Safety By Design, our environmental services help businesses identify, assess, and mitigate potential hazards through professional safety inspections.

Commercial Inspections We Offer

Environmental risks can come from anywhere: hidden water damage, lingering mold, unseen fire hazards, etc. Fortunately, Safety by Design can spot these problems before they spot you. Our commercial inspection services use advanced technology, including thermal imaging, to detect potential issues before they escalate. As a part of our environmental services, we assess:

✓ Building envelope integrity (thermal imaging for leaks and insulation gaps)
✓ Water and storm damage
✓ Mold growth
✓ Fire damage
✓ General hazard assessments

Early detection can prevent costly repairs and protect employee health, all while keeping your facility in compliance with safety regulations.

Building Envelope Inspections (Thermal Imaging)

We use infrared technology to detect hidden issues, such as moisture intrusion, air leaks, and insulation problems, that could affect the safety and energy efficiency of your building.

Storm Damage

After severe weather events, it’s important to assess the impact on your property. We provide detailed storm damage assessments to help you manage repairs and insurance claims.

Fire Damage Inspections

Whether caused by a fire or the risk of one, Safety by Design will inspect your property for fire damage to ensure workplace safety and compliance with regulations.

Water Damage Inspections

Identifying water damage early is necessary for preventing mold growth and structural damage. Safety by Design offers thorough inspections to spot any potential water-related concerns.

Mold Inspections

Mold can pose significant health risks. Our environmental safety team conducts comprehensive mold assessments to identify contamination and develop a remediation plan.

General Hazard Assessments

We inspect your property for potential hazards. This includes structural issues, environmental risks, and safety concerns. After the assessment, we provide clear recommendations to improve safety.

Testing Services

What’s in the air? What’s in the water? What’s on the walls? If you don’t know, it could be putting your team at risk. We test for all kinds of contaminants, because what you can’t see can hurt you.

Air & Contaminant Testing

Respirable dust sampling (silica exposure, industrial dust)
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
Combustion byproducts (PAHs, CO2, CO, etc.)
NIOSH-certified exposure testing

Biological & Chemical Testing

Mold, asbestos, and lead sampling
Legionella and bacteria testing (coliforms, E. coli, gram-negative bacteria, etc.)
Heavy metals and controlled substances (amphetamine, THC, nicotine, cocaine)
Soil and water contamination analysis

Facility & Safety Testing

Noise testing for occupational exposure
Negative air pressure testing (for cleanrooms, healthcare facilities, and industrial sites)
HEPA filter efficiency checks
Particle counts using EPA standards for PM 1.0, 2.5, 4.0, & 10

Have another testing need? Throw it at us. We’ll work with you to find the right lab and sampling methods to get the data you need.

Additional Environmental Safety Services

Testing is just the beginning. With Safety by Design on your side, you’ll stay compliant, prepared, and ready for anything. Here’s how we help you stay ahead of environmental risks:

Respirator Fit Testing

A respirator that doesn’t fit right is as bad as not wearing one at all. We test to make sure your workers’ masks create a proper seal, keeping out dangerous dust, fumes, and airborne contaminants. N95s, half-face, full-face respirators, we ensure they all fit correctly.

Environmental Compliance Reports

Staying compliant with OSHA, EPA, and other regulatory agencies requires detailed documentation and proactive planning. Our environmental compliance reports assess your workplace for potential hazards and regulatory risks. By identifying compliance gaps before an inspection, we help businesses avoid costly fines and maintain a safe working environment. We handle the details so you can focus on running your business, not digging through legal jargon.

Emergency Response Plans

A structured emergency response plan can make all the difference when dealing with hazardous spills, chemical leaks, or contamination events. Safety by Design helps you prepare for spills, contamination, chemical leaks, and other dangerous situations with step-by-step response protocols. Because when every second counts, knowing exactly what to do can mean the difference between a quick fix and a major crisis.

Ongoing Air Quality Monitoring

Worksites change, and so do the risks in the air. Our customized air monitoring programs track exposure levels for dust, chemicals, and other contaminants based on your specific work environment. Our safety consulting company will help you catch hazards before they become health problems, whether it’s for a short-term or long-term project.

Matterport 3D Scans & 2D Floor Plans

Using Matterport 3D scanning technology, our environmental safety specialists create detailed digital replicas of your workspace. Our 2D-floor plans provide important layout information for evacuation routes, hazard identification, and workspace optimization, ensuring that businesses have a clear reference for safety planning.
