BHE Participates in AIHC 2008, Minneapolis, MN

Highlighting this year’s conference was a subject that has challenged most every Industrial Hygienist and fee-paying customer at one time or another – “Demonstrating the Business Value of Industrial Hygiene”. In order to achieve it’s mission of “…promoting healthy and safe work environments…”, AIHA has developed an IH Value Strategy that enables business managers to understand the value that IH programs bring to business at the facility, business unit, and enterprise level. BHE’s Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Health Program practices are integral to the business process of delivering bottom-line results to you and your customers.

Along with the Industrial Hygiene Value Proposition, other sessions attended and of particular interest to many of our clients included Diacetyl and Food Flavorings; Mold Interpretation, Statistics, and Analysis; Toxicology of Engineered Nanoparticles; and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED).

For more information, and to learn how your investment in IH leads to business value, contact Mark Karaffa, CIH, at mkaraffa@bheenvironmental.com

BHE Participates in US EPA and AGCA Workshops

Environmental Guidance for the Construction Industry

The US Environmental Protection Agency and the Associated General Contractors of America joined to conduct a series of telephone workshops and an open forum for information exchange related to the environmental responsibilities of the construction industry. BHE Environmental participated in the effort, mostly by listening and learning, but also by contributing comments and a limited amount of technical support material. In short, the workshops and exchange of information helped us to better understand issues encountered in the construction industry and provided guidance on how to plan for compliance with applicable regulations and avoid costly problems and delays.

The EPA / AGCA effort produced a helpful website called the Construction Industry Compliance Assistance Center as well as a guidance document entitled "Managing Your Environmental Responsibilities: A Planning Guide for Construction and Development". Both can be reviewed by visiting the sites listed below:
