:: Workplace Evaluations ::
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.
