This week we welcome back our most frequent guest, Don Weekes, for a special edition of our Life and Times series: Lessons Learned in IEQ and IH. For going on 20 years, Don has been a regular contributor to IAQ Radio, and over that time we have developed a strong friendship and professional relationship. Few people have given as much back to the indoor environmental quality and industrial hygiene community as Don and his wife, Lan Chi Nguyen Weekes, who is a legend in her own right.
Mr. Weekes has retired from consulting on a full-time basis. In his 50 year career he has
provided expert guidance on all the technical aspects of projects involving occupational health
and safety assessments, indoor air quality, asbestos, LEED IEQ credit certification, lead paint,
mold, and drinking water sampling.
During his career, he served in numerous senior management positions in both the consulting and insurance industries. He has provided consultation services, including health and safety audits and environmental air sampling, to a wide variety of facilities in the utility, chemical, petroleum, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries. He has also worked with numerous governmental entities at local, state, provincial, and federal levels.
As a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) and a Certified Safety Professional (CSP – Retired), Mr.
Weekes has served as an environmental health and safety professional for various international
corporations. He has worked as a consultant for firms in the United States, Canada, Great
Britain, Germany, France, Finland, and Switzerland. His extensive capabilities in health and
