Your Level Of Liability

More than caring for the well-being and safety of your greatest asset, executing air quality testing at your place of business is required to establish due-diligence in providing a safe workplace to your employees.

Due to legislation 503c employers who do not provide a safe workplace for their employees through clean air standards are already at risk for being civilly responsible for any employee health hazards that manifest themselves. But this is not your only problem however. Criminal penalties exist for those employers that do not follow up an employee report of health related issues that could be contributed to hazardous or contaminated air. It is your duty as an employer to call a certified professional such as us when an employee complaint or accusation has revealed itself. We can establish proof of non issue so that you cannot be found liable for any future employee health issues, or provide a course of action for taking care of any existing problems before civil or even worse, criminal penalties rear their head.
