Environmental Contractors Association (ECA) forms Environmental Advisory Council

The Environmental Contractors Association (ECA) has formed the Environmental Advisory Council, a group of environmental remediation professionals working toward advancing the remediation industry by creating an open dialogue for best practices and advanced methods. The council will address issues ranging from asbestos abatement to pathogen contamination and reducing risk for all facilities through effective, safe remediation. The ECA recognized that pathogen-borne contaminants are an increasingly alarming issue in the built environment and called on top remediation experts to form a group dedicated to promoting safety, effectiveness and efficiency in resolving pathogen-borne crises. The advisory council members include: * Gary DiPaolo, VP - Safety, Structure Tone * Steve Pirovolikos, safety director, Structure Tone * Morris Napolitano, president, Degmor Inc. * Douglas Glorie, senior project manager, STV Inc. * Richard Tobin, assistant chief of Fire Prevention, FDNY * Uday Singh, Industrial Hygiene Consultants * Denise Holzka, Heidell, Pittoni, Murphy & Bach, LLP The council's mission is to identify environmental issues and mitigation plans through best practices that promote environmental wellness.
