Hazardous Materials

The storage, dispensing and use of hazardous materials are highly regulated by building codes, fire prevention codes, NFPA standards, and by insurance underwriters. A comprehensive approach to hazardous materials requires thorough knowledge of applicable building / fire code requirements and NFPA standards. Issues of noncompliance can be both dangerous and expensive to mitigate. EFP has a deep understanding of the building code requirements for facilities containing hazardous materials, whether for existing occupancies, tenant improvements or new construction. Our services routinely involve analyzing client needs for the purpose of effectively developing and negotiating solutions to regulatory challenges.

​

Hazardous materials consulting services invariably yield immediate value to the design team by identifying building design deficiencies in a timely manner, and by providing proper documentation and guidance to facilitate an approach to obtaining building permits.
