Results

As part of both programs Vertex, Senior Environmental Monitors worked with Junior Environmental Monitors (IEM’s) directly in the field to mentor and educate during operational activities. The total number of hours worked by the IEM team was 2,363 with zero lost-time safety incidents. The client created a win/win situation and was able to provide tangible benefits to the communities that were located closest to their existing and proposed projects.
