Forensic Analytical Consulting Services, Inc. is always focused on people. Our employees in Oregon are environmental health experts who are committed and genuinely motivated to solve issues that affect the public. We are committed to addressing a variety of environmental health and industrial hygiene needs in Portland and across Oregon.
At Forensic Analytical Consulting Services, Inc., we’re committed to making the environment and workplace safer. We bring together environmental experts, scientists, field workers, and other support personnel to serve the interests of Portland. We have one mission: protecting public health, backed up by a commitment to our home. We count on our team to work every day to solve issues related to public health and well-being.
Our teams are members of the communities they live in, so they have insight and investment in keeping the overall environment safe. At our offices, we’re working constantly to address issues with environmental agents and other concerns.
Our team brings a unique perspective to the areas that we work in, and that perspective consistently leads to positive outcomes. We employ a set of qualified field experts and staff so we can respond to issues rapidly and appropriately. When you need help, we’re here for it.
Our Portland indoor environmental consultants and Oregon industrial hygienists specialize in indoor environmental testing, hazardous building materials (lead, asbestos, PCBs), mold & moisture, water management programs, expert testimony, wildfire/structure fire smoke assessments, healthcare environmental services, healthy building programs, IEQ investigations, coatings & corrosion control, emergency response, respirator fit testing, remediation support, and more.
We also provide expert management of maintenance emergencies (incidents) and restoration vendors when water, fire, biohazards, chemicals & COVID-19 issues affect the lived environment. Our emergency response program (FIRM) is proven to save our clients 20-30% per year in efficiency, cost savings, and productivity gains. Best of all, while dealing with these challenging situations, our real-time data management services for environmental issues offer an accessible dashboard built with our clients in mind.
We have a continuous commitment to serving and caring for the public health of communities in all of the cities we have offices in. The Portland community is no exception. Portland is a historic west coast town and also one of the greatest brunch cities in the world. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest Portland has all the amenities of larger cities like an incredible historic downtown, the Portland Zoo, breweries galore, and a unique food cart scene. We are always busy protecting public health and the environmental safety of our community because we love living here just as much as we love protecting environmental health.
We're committed to Portland, Oregon.
FACS was founded on the principles of giving back and supporting our surrounding communities. In line with those principles, our founder, Dave Kahane, has a well-defined program for supporting employees who are passionate about causes that they believe in – Dave’s Direct Giving (or “D3”) – which provides ten $2,500 awards to various non-profits annually. This way of thinking is pervasive throughout the company, as our staff is given two paid days off per year to support causes that are dear to their hearts.
We work to protect public health and to create safe spaces for living, work, and play. We wouldn’t have it any other way.
