Ebony Office Interiors has joined forces with Prezant Associates to broaden our evaluation services. Prezant Associates, Inc., a Seattle firm founded in 1987, is the largest locally-owned industrial hygiene consulting, laboratory and health/safety training organization in the Pacific Northwest. The firm is divided into three departments: consulting, training and laboratory. Together, we provide exemplary, cost effective risk management consultation services to property owners and managers, construction firms, industrial and manufacturing facilities, school districts and universities, municipalities and utilities and regulatory agencies.

The total value of the industrial hygiene, asbestos, lead and other hazardous materials and construction support services for Pacific Northwest re-development projects is more than $750 million. Over 25,000 professionals and technicians have attended the training and refresher courses and the nationally accredited (AIHA) laboratory has built a reputation for quick turnaround, quality assured analyses for asbestos, metals, and volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds.

Prezant Associates has conducted hazardous materials surveys and designed demolition/renovation materials removal plans and specifications for thousands of projects. The early identification of the hazardous materials and their survey's intended use has consistently saved clients time and money. Utilizing new and emerging technology, the design, scheduling and management demonstrates innovation and efficiency. The knowledgeable and seasoned management includes individuals who not only understand the complex and continually evolving regulations governing hazardous materials, but who have also helped write them.

They are active in professional organizations, writing and delivering technical papers, gathering critical data, educating agencies and peers and striving to improve client health and safety practices. Each of the managers has no less than 8 years of experience in their respective fields; many have more than 15. This experience translates into rapid hazards identification and characterization and effective, durable solutions. Their internal environment of mutual respect and continuing education fosters teamwork and successful project completion by technical and support staff.Every year in the US, more than two million people experience symptoms of ill-health believed to have been caused or made worse by work environments.

The total cost of this ill-health to our society as a whole is upwards of $5 billion. Prezant professionals are actively working towards a healthy working environment. Health at work is primarily achieved by identifying those factors at work, which could contribute to ill-health, assessing the risks associated with them and then taking steps to reduce those risks. Prezant helps companies stay happy, healthy and profitable.
