The construction of new facilities and installation of new equipment triggers several Environment Health and Safety regulations, as do many construction activities themselves. Environmental permits are typically required prior to the start of construction activities, which may have significant lead times. It is important to contact EH&S well in advance of starting a new construction project to avoid delays.
