We often work in areas where environmental control is critical. With experience working in hospitals, medical office buildings, schools and child development centers, we are confident in our capabilities to make the construction process as hassle-free as possible. We are committed to safety and the comfort of our clients and know how important it is to keep dust and noise levels low. Here are just a few of the Environmental Control Standards we live by:
- Bulk storage of potentially dusty materials should be located away from open area.
- Cutting and grinding operations should be undertaken using appropriate dust suppression techniques.
- Trash dumpsters and trash conveying devices will be covered and maintained.
- If an activity is inherently noisy then an alternative technique should be investigated.
- Harmon prides itself on hiring professional and well-mannered staff. Anti-social behavior involving swearing, shouting and loud radios will be avoided.
- Carts, job boxes, trash boxes will be well maintained, in good working condition and oiled/greased where appropriate.
- System “shut downs,” such as electric, HVAC, plumbing and any/all utilities will be coordinated well in advance to minimize the disruption of client activities and functions. Typically performed on weekends or “off hours.”
- Sites under construction will be blocked off from open areas of the building.
- All staff are required to wear hard hats at all times while in construction areas (along with eye protection, when appropriate.)
- Safety audits will be performed by our Safety Consulting Vendor.
