In PBM Building investigation, the expertise of our construction health specialists is utilized at the sites that need a comprehensive assessment of various issues, including potential health hazards in the indoor air, in addition to assessing the general condition of the structures. For example, when a condition assessment is made at a site, the construction health specialist inspects the building comprehensively and investigates any health-related issues in the indoor air.

 

A certified construction health specialist fulfills the requirements specified in the paragraph 49d of the Health Protection Act for external experts on moisture and mold damages and problems in indoor air quality. In investigations covered by the Health Protection Act, it is the task of the construction health specialist to assess how any damages and faults found in the building impact the indoor air quality and to make, for example, an assessment of exposure circumstances.
