The Company is certified by the Department of General Services, Office of Small and Minority Business and by the City of Oakland as a Small Business Enterprise (SBE). The multi-cultural and mixed gender makeup of our organization reflects our nondiscriminatory policies. ESI maintains an equal employment opportunity (EEO) policy.

ESI's professional consulting and engineering services are backed by coverage from an A.M. Best A-rated, on-shore, California-admitted, insurance carrier. The limits of our coverage are:

· $2,000,000 in commercial general liability insurance

ESI's adheres to United States and California Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) protocols and industry standards for quality control and quality assurance. ESI principals stay involved with all projects from start to end and act as the primary liaison with the client and any regulatory agency officials. All technical and project completion reports are reviewed by a California-registered professional engineer, or a certified asbestos or lead professional.

ESI has established a health and safety (H&S) policy which is designed to prevent all job-related illnesses and injuries. ESI's H&S policy which is setup in strict accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 1910.120, protocols, is designed to protect workers and the public during its activities at contaminated sites. All ESI's field personnel regularly attend EPA and OSHA-regulated training classes and are annually refreshed in accordance with all requirements.

A project specific health & safety plan is prepared by a senior project manager prior to site deployment. This will assure maximum protection of our employees as well as the health and safety of others involved with the project.

Furthermore, in accordance with Cal-OSHA regulations, ESI has implemented an Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) to further protect its employees and personnel. A copy of this plan will be made available to all clients, upon request.
