Managing an environmental cleanup can be a daunting task. Questions arise such as:
- Is the contractor being honest about what "needs to be done"?
- Is their focus to maximize the use of manpower and equipment or are they doing only what is required?
- What will the regulatory agencies really "require"?
- Is the contract I was just asked to sign reasonable?
Shield’s Action Environmental Group's Incident Management service provides senior level project management assistance that can answer these questions. Our emergency response managers are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and can manage small incidents over the phone or in the case of larger incidents, mobilize to the site within hours of notification

We also evaluate the options offered by the local contractor for disposal of solid and liquid waste.

We maintain an extensive database of over 1700 national contractors which can be accessed if problems arise with the on site contractor.
