On October 5, 1988, Angelo Garcia, III, founded Future Environment Designs, Inc. (FEDTC) as an indoor air quality consulting and training service to the facility management sector. Since then, we have transformed the company into a provider of asbestos, mold, and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) compliance training. That has enabled us to continue for 37 years, with plans to continue for at least another 13 years.

Once we converted the company into a training company, we became completely focused on our Blue Ocean Strategy of separating our company from our competitors by including additional services in our training courses to meet our clients’ needs. Services like:
- supplying personal protective equipment (PPE),
- providing quantitative respirator fit testing,
- providing respirator medical evaluations,
- our monthly Safety Suzy newsletter with content on asbestos, mold, indoor air quality, and occupational safety and health information,
- our blog where we post items of interest and discussion,
- our negative air app,
- our air sampling charts,
- our training library,
- our partnership with SiteDocs,
- and all of it found on FEDTC’s website.

In keeping with our Blue Ocean Strategy, we are starting a program called “After the Refresher”. “After the Refresher” will consist of interviews and recordings with people who attended our refresher classes, where our attendees get to introduce themselves and we discuss some of the topics we covered in the refresher class. As we develop this program, we hope to interview people at conferences and other events that have an impact on the asbestos, mold, and OSHA compliance business.
In our first episode above, we discussed the different items we are currently discussing in our asbestos refresher courses. In our second episode below, we interviewed John Paciulli of Insight Environmental, Inc., on the new New York State Department of Labor fact sheet on asbestos surveys and how it would impact the asbestos and mold industries. We also discuss issues regarding contamination assessments.
As we continue to develop these programs and services, we are looking forward to what the next 13 years have to offer. When you watch these programs, please don’t forget to subscribe to Future Environment Designs Training Center’s YouTube Channel and hit the like button. Thank you!
