Industrial hygiene is the study of the work environment to identify hazards
in the workplace, to provide corrective action in order to prevent occupational
injury an illness.
Industrial hygiene also deals with the evaluation of the non-industrial
environment, such as residences, office buildings, public buildings and other
for chemical, biological, and other factors that can cause illness and
injury.
Key Benefits
- Collect air monitoring data to provide a healthy work environment
- Reduce workmen's compensation insurance costs
- Comply with OSHA regulations
- Identify hazardous conditions to implement controls and personal
protective equipment programs
Capabilities
- Air Monitoring
- Air monitoring can be done for most toxic chemicals, particulates and
bioaerosols.
-
- Job Hazard Analysis
- To identify physical, chemical, biological hazards in the workplace.
-
- Indoor Air Quality Investigations
- Investigations to find the source of indoor air contamination can
relieve employee, occupants, and residents' health problems and can provide
a safe and healthy work environment or place of residence.
-
- Indoor Air Quality Investigations
- Mold investigations focus on the source of moisture and other
contributing factors that can lead to mold growth. Once these factors
that are causing mold growth to occur are identified a corrective action
plan is developed to resolve the mold problem.
-
- Respirator Fit-testing and training
- Fit-testing and of respirators on employees and training is required to
be performed annually as part of a respirator program.
-
- Evaluation and Design of Ventilation and Pollution Control Systems
- Engineering controls such as local or general exhaust ventilation are
integral part of a company's strategy to reduce employee exposure and
control environmental contamination. Engineering controls are required
by many government agencies such as OSHA, EPA, Air Districts, Water Boards,
etc. These systems must be properly designed, tested and maintained in order
