Atlantic Environmental is a small business concern that was founded in 1978 for the purpose of providing consulting and testing services in industrial hygiene, safety and environmental field. The founder and CEO of Atlantic Environmental, Mr. Robert E. Sheriff CIH, CSP, brought with him extensive experience from industry and the commercial casualty insurance market. Prior to 1978, Mr. Sheriff was the Corporate Safety, Health and Environmental Manager of Sun Chemical Corporation. Prior to that he was an Industrial Hygienist and Loss Control Representative for Continental Insurance. In addition, Mr . Sheriff also has held positions with Libby Foods, The Iowa Water Pollution Control Commission, and as an officer in the U. S. Army Chemical Corps. His education includes a Master of Science degree in Preventative Medicine and Environmental Health with a Major in Industrial Hygiene. Mr. Sheriff was the 1991-1992 President of the AIHA and continues active participation in leadership of that organization.

Dr. Frederick M. Toca, Ph.D., CIH, CSP, SConsultant at Atlantic Environmental, Inc, is a past president of the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) from 1989-1990 and a former member of the National Advisory Committee on Occupational Safety and health (NACOSH).

Atlantic Environmental has gradually expanded its manpower from one employee in 1978 to the current staffing level of approximately 20 consultants and administrative personnel. Throughout this period of time the services offered by the organization have also expanded. Services in indoor air quality, asbestos abatement, consulting, environmental, lead, hazard communication/right-to-know, hazardous waste related services, EPA Phase I & II property assessments, and underground storage tanks have gradually been added to the original capabilities in industrial hygiene, safety, and loss control.

The principal members of Atlantic Environmental have extensive experience in all types of activities within the industrial hygiene, safety and environmental profession and associated fields. Their professional experience started long before the inception of Atlantic Environmental in 1978. The principals have all the experience required to understand the specific requirements related to OSHA & EPA regulations, NIOSH criteria documents, ACGIH publications, as well as universally accepted protocols established in private and public sector for providing risk assessments, base line surveys, detailed monitoring surveys, project management, organizational development and liability issues.

As a small business that provides the overwhelming majority of its services to large organizations and government agencies, the company's viability depends on our quality of work, the qualifications of our principals and staff, the strength of organizational management and the ability to rapidly deliver final formal reports after all laboratory data and information has been evaluated.

The professional staff of Atlantic Environmental has also been actively involved in professional association activities and government committees as a means to expand their knowledge and expertise.

They are recognized experts and act as expert witness and in litigation support in Asbestos, Chemical Exposure, Toxic Tort, Hazardous Waste, Industrial Hygiene, Safety, Pollution Liability and Regulatory Interpretation

The staff of Atlantic Environmental have acted as instructors in industrial hygiene, safety, indoor air quality, respiratory protection, hazardous waste site activities, hazardous waste operator (hazwoper) courses, and ventilation related topics in formal presentations for organization such as the National Safety Council, The Industrial Management Association, The New Jersey State Safety Council, The American Industrial Hygiene Association, The American Society of Safety Engineers, The National Asbestos Council, and a wide variety of public and private presentations for in-house programs.
