Cashins & Associates: Keeping Your Campus, Your Students and Your Staff Healthy and Safe

Schools and colleges face many of the same environmental health challenges faced by industry and government  – indoor air quality, ventilation, dust and mold related to frequent re-configurations and budgetary constraints that may limit design and maintenance. But many of these buildings have a unique population – children.  


Preventive steps to ensure health and safety are more important in schools, as children are more susceptible to low-level toxicity from chemicals used in paints and construction materials and more likely to suffer from allergies triggered by mold and dust. In addition, high school and college chemistry labs may cause symptoms due to issues that are related to poor ventilation.



Cashins & Associates ensures that your educational facilities offer a healthy, safe environment for your students and staff by delivering cost-effective, practical solutions. Some of the issues we can help you address include:



• Maintaining optimum indoor air quality 
• Thermal comfort challenges – some are too hot, others too cold 
• Decreased productivity or absenteeism due to student/staff headaches, respiratory symptoms or general fatigue 
• Dust or odor issues related to construction 
• Resolving health issues related to mold and moisture 
• Complying with local, state and federal regulations 


When you engage Cashins & Associates to serve your educational facilities, you benefit from our extensive field experience and technical expertise in this unique sector. We understand the variety and complexity of environmental health and safety issues that can impact your buildings, your students and your staff – and we know how to resolve them in a practical, cost-effective way that protects you against liability, fines, and lost productivity.
