1/Asbestos

PROBLEM

As part of its ongoing risk management plan, a Fortune 100 international company located overseas needed asbestos inspections conducted at several of its U.S. facilities.

SMG'S APPROACH

SMG conducted assessments for 15-20 facilities throughout the United States and provided summary reports for each facility. The investigations included site assessments, physical sampling, state-by-state regulatory review and recommendations with regard to managing or abating identified asbestos-containing materials as well as each facility's overall compliance status.

RESULTS

SMG gave the company a clear plan to address its physical facilities. By presenting the information in a uniform way, SMG helped the company reduce its exposure to asbestos liability and litigation and improved the approach to the health and safety of the individual employees working within the facilities.
