Do you need to start decontamination following an analysis that confirms the presence of mould and microorganisms? And you do not know the decontamination methods to implement or the protocols to follow?
Santinel is here to help you prepare a plan and train your staff on the decontamination procedures to initiate. Our experts will act in your best interest and are committed to maintaining your workers’ safety with respect to regulations. However, if the decontamination requires significant work, you can entrust it to a specialized contractor.
We can then help you prepare an estimate and even ensure monitoring. In this manner, you will be confident that everything goes as planned. In any case, we will carry out sampling and analysis to see if the work is successful and to certify the decontamination of the premises.

Some microorganisms are not dangerous and are even essential to us. On the other hand, others are harmful and pose health risks due to their nature and the degree of contamination. In many cases, mould is the root cause of allergies, asthma, conjunctivitis, bronchitis and severe pneumonia.
Although mould development can be apparent, contamination is often invisible to the naked eye as it hides behind walls, ceilings, and ventilation ducts. It’s usually when a worker shows symptoms of sickness that we discover fungus. That is why it is necessary to prevent the development of mould and quickly correct a situation that could lead to contamination.
Let us offer you complete and tailored support. Together we will make a summary assessment of the situation in your organization. We assess complaint history, alleged medical cases, and the degree of contamination. We will determine an intervention plan with you according to your priorities.
We will identify and localize the causes.
We will assess the actual scope of the problem by sampling the air and contaminated materials and identify microorganism species and their pathogenicity.
We will determine the sources of decontamination.
We will draft a report with recommendations.
If you wish for complete support, we will remain at your disposal for elaborating protocol, the cost estimate for decontamination, and even monitoring operations. In any case, we will assist you in presenting the final results to your employees.
