Keeping Tabs On Industry News

Did you know that an “Asbestos Survey” is required by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD)?

“The affected facility or facility components shall be thoroughly surveyed for the presence of asbestos prior to any demolition or renovation activity.” SCAQMD Rule 1403

California B&P codes 7180-7189.7 specify asbestos surveys must be conducted by DOSH Certified Site Surveillance Technicians (CSST) or Certified Asbestos Consultants (CAC). For an entire list of Asbestos Survey Requirements please go to: http://www.aqmd.gov/rules/reg/reg14/r1403.pdf (refer to page 6)

Laboratory Update

Patriot’s lab department is in the process of obtaining accreditation for mold analysis through AIHA-EMLAP. It is currently NVLAP and CADPH-ELAP accredited for PLM and Lead Analysis and participates in various proficiency tests including PCM. Our laboratory adheres to a strict QAQC system in order to consistently provide accurate and reliable results. Test reports are delivered via fax, e-mail and eZ Results.

Mark Your Calendar: Past & Upcoming Events

On July 10th Patriot was excited to attend IECA’s (Inland Empire Claims Association) 54th Annual Golf Tournament at the Temecula Creek Inn. We had a great time “Teeing Up” with insurance adjusters and industry professionals. All proceeds benefited the Ronald McDonald House – a charity that provides comfort and care to families whose children are currently seeking treatment for a serious illness. We had a great time and look forward to next year’s event.

Patriot is eager to attend the California Construction Expo in Los Angeles, CA on August 13, 2009 and the Western Regional PLRB/LIRB Adjusters Conference in Austin, TX on October 20-21 2009. We hope to see you there!
