semiconductor manufacturing, landfills, printing operations, dry cleaners, gas stations
and others in accordance with ASTM E 1527-13 standards and client specifications
Audited 15 manufacturing processes for compliance with OSHA’s Process Safety
Management (PSM) standard and developed corrective action check-lists and remedial
operator training as needed
Inspected over 200 major air emission sources for compliance with state and federal
regulations and permits.
Developed and presented detailed reports of audit findings and corrective action plans for
company management and regulatory agencies.
Calculated emissions for permit applications and emission reports for major air emission
sources in a variety of industries.
Planned and performed field sampling activities for 35 comprehensive site investigations.
