QUALITY CONTROL/QUALITY ASSURANCE
(QC/QA)
Our programs and policies
include quality control/quality assurance (QC/QA)
procedures. The QC/QA work involves different
phases of our activities. One phase is laboratory
sampling and testing of air samples or soil samples
that has a built in "second opinion"
testing system. This means that for every 10-20
samples collected, depending on what media is
sampled, an additional test is done at another
laboratory. Another phase involves control by
a safety engineer. The safety engineer visits
job sites randomly, reviews documents, laboratory
reports, daily job logs, and other related documentation
to ensure proper procedures are followed and safety
programs are adhered to. Specifications and/or
regulations may call out for additional safety
inspections done by regulatory agencies or property
owner's representative. We have on most jobs worked
with agencies, consultants and owners representative.
