Biosafety
Stay Compliant and Mitigate Risk.
Safety Audit
Your lab is only productive when everyone prioritizes safety and acts responsibly. We’ll help you achieve that productivity with a safety audit.
Biosafety Policies & Procedures
Why get bogged down in writing biosafety policies and procedures when you could be on the verge of a breakthrough in your work? We’ll handle your paperwork so you can keep the focus on science!
Gap Analysis
A gap analysis serves as a proactive measure to identify risks, navigate upcoming safety inspections, and equip you with tools to swiftly resolve costly and time-sensitive issues. We offer a systematic assessment across safety programs and functions.
Institutional Biosafety Committee Consultation & Training
Whether you’re a small operation dedicated to one research project or a larger organization with several moving parts, any amount of hazardous material needs to be handled with care.
Lab Waste Equipment Protocols & Validation
It’s critical to ensure laboratory waste is treated responsibly. Do your current policies reduce the possibility of exposure to, or the transmission of, infectious materials to workers, the public, and the environment?
Certification
Efficient and Process-Driven Testing.
Certification/Verification
Backed by data and analyzed by experts, our process is second to none. Your researchers and the community expect a safe and secure environment.
HVAC Performance Verification & Remediation
A lab's HVAC system failure can have catastrophic consequences.
Commissioning
Confidence in Your Complex Facility.
Commissioning
Not all commissioning agents are created equal. When it comes to high-consequence laboratory or critical environment commissioning, a higher standard needs to be met. We’re your people for the job!
Construction Evaluation
Your money is important. We’ll help you save it and avoid costly construction pitfalls. Sometimes, site constraints mean you’ll have to diverge from your original design. Our inspection of laboratory construction aims to verify that the facility as a whole aligns with government regulations.
Biosafety Policies and Procedures
Biosafety Policies and Procedures require in-depth reviews to stay up to date, but don’t be intimidated by that. We offer a fresh perspective, bringing a new set of eyes to identify risks that may go unnoticed over time. Our experts review your documentation and provide recommendations to improve your biosafety policies and procedures.
Operations & Maintenance Plans
Making sure you’re compliant with guidelines and regulations requires a comprehensive Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Plan that covers the entire laboratory facility.
Lab Waste Equipment Protocols & Validation
It’s critical to ensure laboratory waste is treated responsibly. Do your current policies reduce the possibility of exposure to, or the transmission of, infectious materials to workers, the public, and the environment?
Owner’s Representative & Contract Management
Laboratory and other critical environment projects have become increasingly complex. Managing them doesn’t have to be.
Design
Translating Science to Design.
Feasibility Studies
Embark on your laboratory or critical environment project with confidence.
Design
There are always challenges when designing a laboratory. The potential for roadblocks is endless, but an expertly designed lab can minimize issues.
Design Review
Who wants to spend money when they don’t need to? Design a laboratory that meets safety and health standards and use the saved construction dollars for additional research and public health endeavors.
Program of Requirements
We’ll design a lab that meets your scope, schedule, and budget. Through it all, we’ll be on the lookout for potential conflicts that could interfere with operations.
Security
Protect Your Sensitive Materials and Intellectual Property.
Security & Site Vulnerability
Your security is important to us, and we want you to have a solid, proactive program.
Biosecurity
We’ll help you develop a single, unified biosecurity program that addresses risk and threat to your whole facility.
