Team Randolph Stresses Safety and the Remediation Process

Disaster remediation often exposes workers to significant risks. Team Randolph crew members are acutely aware of the hazards potentially posed when simply walking through a home after a fire or beginning work in spaces submerged in water. As Crew Chief Henry Rosario states, “No one ever wants to get hurt on the job.”

Customers depend on trained and certified technicians like Henry to perform the tasks required to remediate damaged properties without injury to crew members or occupants. The first job for Team Randolph at any disaster site is ensuring safety controls are in place to protect workers, individualized to “be safe for every job.”. These can include:

Inspecting structures for weaknesses that could result in collapse and securing work spaces for further remediation efforts

Extracting water rather than wading in, revealing debris and other slip, trip, and fall hazards before work crew enter an area

Packing and wearing appropriate personal protective equipment such as N95 respirators, Tyvek suits, and waterproof boots

Team Randolph Project Managers and technicians share responsibility for safety. Henry emphasizes, “You never know what you’re going into” when you begin the remediation process. Fortunately, training and state-of-the-art equipment offer the necessary protection.
