What does CSRT mean in CERTIFICATIONS & DIPLOMAS

A Certified Surveyor in Remedial Treatments (CSRT) is a professional surveyor who specializes in the assessment and remediation of properties affected by environmental contamination, biological intrusion, and other potential risks. CSRTs have expertise in conducting site surveys and obtaining the appropriate permits and approvals necessary to perform necessary remediation activities.

To be eligible for certification as a CSRT, applicants must demonstrate extensive knowledge related to building and land surveying practices, as well as expertise in industry regulations as it relates to building structures. Candidates further need to complete an approved training program specific to contaminated properties and various treatments. Certain levels of experience are also required before applying to become certified.

CSRTs need strong technical skills when it comes to surveying, mapping, legal documentation analysis, geospatial modeling and data analysis techniques. Problem-solving abilities are essential, along with strong communication skills when dealing with homeowners or property officials. Knowledge of regulations related to hazardous waste identification and disposal is equally important.

A CSRT's duties involve collecting data from site surveys, evaluating existing conditions onsite, assessing potential hazards or environmental concerns at the property and making recommendations on the appropriate course of action. The technician can also evaluate alternative treatment methods that could mitigate any existing contamination issues quickly and safely.
