CONTAMINATION THREAT ASSESSMENT

There is an urgency to understand and address the potential biological or radiological contamination to our cities, facilities, systems, and people. Recognizing the need for greater homeland security, Parsons organized a comprehensive suite of services to assess and mitigate the threat of contamination.

Parsons can enhance and improve existing systems. We work closely with clients to develop and implement immediate response plans, to monitor and protect facilities and the surrounding community, and to recover lost product. In the event of a release, our experts can be on site within 24 hours to assess the impact of the release, assist in the emergency cleanup, and coordinate with local authorities and regulators.

Our OSHA and EPA approved methodologies for handling and remediating biological hazardous waste include:

• Biological hazards investigations
• Hazardous materials safety data sheets
• Recommendations for securing public and private plants and facilities
• A hazards communication plan
• Labeling and manifesting all hazardous substance containers
• Assessing and ranking vulnerability
• Detection systems recommendations
• Prevention, isolation, and response plans

Risk can come from inside or outside the country and can create devastation of unimaginable scale. Rapid, thorough, and targeted response to the threat of contamination is the only choice. Parsons offers experts and services to help establish the response systems that give citizens peace of mind.
