The health and safety of EPI’s employees, clients and the community are of prime importance to EPI.

EPI employees are acutely aware of health and safety requirements. EPI project managers are trained in safety awareness and are supplemented with specially trained professionals. Each EPI project has an assigned health and safety officer responsible for developing and implementing a health and safety plan for that project. EPI employees involved in hazardous site activities have completed the 40-hour OSHA 29 CFR1910.120 training course. EPI maintains a strict medical surveillance program that covers EPI employees who work in hazardous site conditions.

The primary function of the EPI Health and Safety Program is to:

• Promote Health and Safety Awareness Throughout the Company,
       
• Audit OSHA and EPA Regulatory Compliance
       
• Prepare Health and Safety Plans
       
• Provide Safety Training and Maintain Records
       
• Administer a Medical Surveillance Program.

  The program was developed to protect the health of field personnel from potential chemical exposure and follows guidelines or regulations developed by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.
