Lingering Environmental Trends in Buildings
Tuesday, September 21
The buildings we spend the majority of the day in play an important role in our daily lives. The primary purpose of a building to protect people from the elements and to support human activity. Buildings should not make people sick, cause them discomfort or otherwise inhibit their ability to perform. If environmental exposures are not well managed, costly remediation and/or potential liability as a result of ensuing environmental issues can occur. In addition, with ever changing regulations, managing environmental exposures can help to limit liability and ensure regulatory compliance. Some of the most common lingering environmental trends in buildings are indoor air quality, water intrusion issues, mold and the ever changing regulations regarding lead based paint. In this presentation, we will discuss these environmental trends and what steps can be taken to manage these environmental exposures.

In the environmental world, closure generally means the point of the project where no additional investigation or remediation activities are required and the regulatory agency has provided a letter to that affect. However, the strength of the regulatory closure instrument varies among programs in Indiana, and other states have a similar situation. In this webinar, find out what closure means to sites in the various clean-up programs in Indiana and other states. We will also discuss common “post-closure requirements” and the potential for “re-openers” of closed sites.

Do yourself a favor and institute good housekeeping practices related to your environmental programs. Spills should be addressed and cleaned up immediately. Drums of chemicals should be neatly organized and not randomly stored out in active aisle ways. Containers should be securely closed when not in use. All of these practices will help minimize accidental environmental problems and also demonstrates to a regulatory inspector that the facility is putting its "best foot forward" in regards to operating practices.
