“Nobody told us that was there.”

Every experienced construction professional has heard this phrase.

Whether it’s asbestos hidden above a ceiling, lead-coated structural steel, PCB-containing building materials, or petroleum contamination discovered during excavation, unexpected environmental hazards can quickly derail projects, impact worker safety, and create costly schedule delays and regulatory challenges.

Join us for an engaging and interactive technical meeting that combines real-world project experience with practical lessons learned from the field. Through case studies and interactive exercises, attendees will gain actionable strategies to identify, evaluate, and manage hidden environmental hazards before they become project failures.

You’ll Learn How To:

✔ Recognize common hazardous building materials and environmental contamination issues.

✔ Identify warning signs and environmental red flags on construction and redevelopment projects.

✔ Understand the impacts of unexpected discoveries on safety, schedules, budgets, and compliance.

✔ Develop practical response and communication strategies for managing environmental risks.

✔ Apply lessons learned from real-world scenarios to your own projects.

Safety Professionals
Construction Managers
General Contractors
