ADAM Environmental Management

Schools, colleges and public agencies that own older buildings have to keep track of where hazardous materials are and what has been done about them. ADAM Environmental Management comes from EcoLogic Systems for exactly that record keeping, covering asbestos, lead based paint and indoor air quality in one system.

What the system records

ADAM is described as a management tool to track and inventory asbestos, lead based paint and indoor air quality, together with documentation, photos, inspection dates and abatement project information. Building owners and managers can store and reach survey and sampling data, update the locations where materials remain, and follow later abatement activity. Bulk sampling results, air sampling results, operations and maintenance activity, inspections and periodic surveillance can all be kept against each building.

Compliance paperwork

The system lets owners store all types of electronic reports and data so that OSHA and EPA record keeping and notification rules are easier to meet. It also generates building specific notifications that comply with OSHA requirements automatically, which saves staff from drafting the same notices again for every site. The vendor offers the software with a free 60 day trial and describes it as affordable and simple to use.

Three inventories in one

The product is split into three areas: records for asbestos, records for lead based paint, and laboratory and air quality data. Having all three in one database is something a school district user highlights on the vendor's site, where a district describes tracking asbestos at more than 70 sites for over ten years. A consulting firm describes using the program so that its clients can manage asbestos facility wide.

SMART for employee records

EcoLogic also sells SMART, an employee information management system with four modules that can be bought separately or used together in single and multi user versions. It stores and organizes human resources, training, health and safety records, and users describe tracking certifications and air sample testing and running reports on staff whose credentials will soon expire. The vendor also customizes reports and helps with data migration when a customer moves to another system.
