Expanded Services For Emergency Response Incidents
For Emergency Response Activities, Pace National offers:
- Immediate technical support for planning and logistics – call 1-877-372-5227 to be connected to environmental professionals technically trained in emergency response situations.
- Capability within 24 hours of contact to set up a Sample Management Office (SMO) on site to manage and control documentation of all materials collected and the disbursement of all samples for testing. This offers the assurance that should litigation occur, all samples collected on site are properly documented and controlled for custody and reference purposes. A connection to the Pace National LIMS will be established to document these collections in the Pace National LIMS system, including any material sent to other laboratories.
- Technical and analytical support via on-site personnel to assist in meetings and decisions made in real-time on site pertaining to analyses required, proper sampling and collection, and help with understanding and interpreting laboratory data. Where on-site personnel is unwarranted due to the level of response required, a dedicated technical contact is established at the laboratory to monitor activity and provide a constant resource to field or environmental management personnel
- Field and Data Management support where appropriate through our partners in the industry. Pace National maintains relationships with Consulting, Engineering, and Quality Management firms throughout the United States to provide rapid response anywhere in the country.
- On site preparedness through the establishment of emergency supply storage sites where available to hold emergency sampling kits for primary analytical requirements. This allows for immediate collection of material in the event of an incident to document the initial stages of the action.
- On-site analysis for real time data where warranted. Instrumentation, staffing requirements, and technical expertise are determined on an incident specific basis.
Whether your firm requires on-site analysis and sample management or just assistance in establishing emergency sample kits and response protocols, Pace National's Emergency Response Program can be tailored to provide immediate support in the event of an environmental incident.
