Operation & Maintenance (O&M) Plans

Managing Environmental Conditions Over the Long Term

After construction, remediation, or environmental work is complete, certain conditions still need to be managed to remain compliant and protect occupants.

An Operation & Maintenance (O&M) Plan outlines how those conditions will be handled over time — including what needs to be monitored, maintained, or avoided during normal building use.

The goal is to create a plan that’s clear enough to follow in day-to-day operations, not something that sits on a shelf and gets ignored.
