Construction Health and Safety Daily Monitoring

EnviroMed is providing Health and Safety Monitoring and Supervision for caternary replacement and bridge replacement and demolition for areas along the Metro North Railroad corridor (Westport to Bridgeport).

EnviroMed wrote the Health and Safety Plan (HASP) for the job and trained individuals prior to the start of the work for Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HazWoper).  Monitoring that EnviroMed is performing is confined space entry parameters, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) monitoring, Silica monitoring and total dust using a DataRam.

The monitoring is being done during excavation work for the bridge replacements.  EnviroMed provides monthly reports for the Health and Safety monitoring.  EnviroMed is also on-site monitoring the lead-based paint work on the steel structures (bridges and caternary towers).  Monitoring for the lead abatement work is personal and ambient monitors.   This project is a long term project with an anticipated duration of 7 years.
