Join us for our discussion on Current Environmental Hazards in the Construction Industry!
Environmental hazards present unique risks that can compromise worker safety, environmental integrity, and project timelines. Join us as experts from Bay Associates Environmental break down frequently encountered issues in the construction industry.
We will examine key hazards such as exposure to hazardous materials, air quality issues, noise pollution, soil contamination, and the effects of weather conditions on construction operations. We will discuss proactive strategies to identify, assess, and mitigate these environmental risks to safeguard workers, enhance compliance with regulatory standards, and improve site safety.
Key topics include:

Susan has worked in the environmental field for over 40 years. She started her career with the Maryland Department of the Environment where her focus was on water quality in the Chesapeake Bay. She then joined a firm specializing in hazardous waste disposal and soon formed Bay Associates Environmental, where she has been president for the past 32 years. Susan attended Syracuse Univ. and graduated from SUNY, Environmental, Science and Forestry with a degree in Environmental Biology. (There was no environment science program) She has been on the Board of several organizations including the local National Capital AHMP Chapter, the SAME (Society of American Military Engineers,), and Maryland Dept. of Environment’s, Controlled Hazardous Substance Advisory Council. (Although Controlled Haz. Substance may sound like drugs… , it is MD’s hazardous waste regulations) She has handled hundreds of hazardous waste disposal jobs, and still enjoys the fact that the regulations are not always based on logic and usually present a good mental challenge. As do her 3 dogs, 2 cats, and 3 children. |
