Through regular training and constant communication with environmental officials, ECI's professionals stay on top of the latest developments in the environmental field. For example, when the anthrax scare threatened to shut down federal offices in New York City, ECI was prepared. We employed the latest CDC procedures and provided test results within 48 hours enabling our client's operations to resume to normal with only minor disruptions. Agencies that used other environmental firms had operations disrupted for weeks and in some cases months awaiting testing results.
ECI provides a full range of services related to hazardous materials in residential, commercial and industrial structures. All work conducted by ECI is completed by certified professionals in compliance with local, state and federal health and safety regulations including those of USEPA, NIOSH, and OSHA.
