Azimuth is a team of scientists with a practical bent and proven experience in our service areas. We have grown over the years to support our clients and the evolving regulatory regimes we operate within. Our team includes two BC Contaminated Sites Approved Professionals (CSAP) Risk Assessors and a Diplomate of the American Board of Toxicology (DABT).
Azimuth was started in 2002 by three founding partners, including Randy Baker, who tragically passed away in 2018 while on a natural history adventure in Nepal. From the beginning, Azimuth’s core values have included attributes such as quality science, forward-thinking, connection and work-life choice – all of which were exemplified by Randy.
