At Access Environmental Associates, Inc. (AEA) safety is paramount. Our staff, by the nature of our work,  experiences potentially dangerous and unknown hazards. As such our staff is extensively trained to identify hazards and protect themselves, our subcontractors, and bystanders. During site assessment and remediation construction related safety issues, chemical exposure issues, and natural hazards have to be managed effectively so that injuries are prevented. Therefore we maintain one of our extensively trained Senior Personnel at every jobsite to foresee safety issues before they happen. Because of the recent surge in the need for environmental consulting, many companies are now providing these services. Often times, this work is performed by inexperienced staff, or is performed under high-volume, high production motivation with a lack of attention to detail. As a result, job site safety may be ignored or inadequately conducted, providing a false sense of security and elevated liability. Our staff represents some of the most experienced and qualified Environmental Consulting professionals in the southeast and our corporate philosophy enables these experienced staff to actually conduct your work, not just be available if some issue arises or a proposal needs written.

Typically in our industry, safety or quality suffers when the Client wants the best price. At AEA we pride ourselves with our success in finding a more cost effective solution to our Client’s complex environmental issues. Success in these areas can be seen in our use of the latest biotechnology during remediation and utilizing mobile laboratories and direct push sampling to assess contaminated sites. Since we operate extensively in the land development market we typically simply must fix complex environmental issues for a land deal to work within the projects dollar constraints. We therefore look at each project (in addition to Safety) with the following in mind: "Quality, Cost and Experience."
