Forensic Analytical Consulting Services
FACS was founded in 1986. The company specializes in environmental hazards consulting, risk prevention, risk management, and litigation support in situations where human health is a concern. FACS maintains offices in four regions of the United States: Pacific Northwest, Southwest, Southeast, and Midwest. In the words of FACS founder, Dave Kahane, "30-plus years of providing environmental risk management and industrial hygiene services have allowed us to engage with clients at every level of their organizations and to develop solutions for the most unique issues in a scientifically responsible and transparent manner. One doesn't build a reputation through words, but by living and executing on core values every day and building trust from the ground up with our clients, mentoring and challenging our team, and gaining the respect of our peers." With the acquisition of the much-respected Hazard Management Services, Inc. (established 1984), FACS has expanded its environmental consulting capabilities and added customized hazmat training for asbestos, lead, mold, and other hazardous materials. HMS trainers are certified by the EPA and Cal/OSHA to provide instruction in a variety of asbestos and lead certification courses.
