Industrial Hygiene has been defined as "...that
science and art devoted to the anticipation, recognition,
evaluation, and control of those environmental factors or
stresses
arising in or from the workplace, which may cause
sickness,
impaired health and well-being, or significant discomfort
among
workers or among the citizens of the
community." In sum, industrial hygiene encompasses a broad spectrum
of the working environment.
Early in its history, OSHA recognized industrial hygiene
as an integral part of a healthful
work setting. OSHA places a high priority on using
industrial hygiene concepts in its
health standards and as a tool for effective enforcement
of job safety and health
regulations. By recognizing and applying the principles
of industrial hygiene to the work
environment, America's workplaces will become more
healthful and safer.
We have over 35 years of industrial hygiene,
environmental health, and occupational safety experience, working at the federal
level. We can assist your organization with identifying and documenting potential workplace hazards
that include air contaminants, chemical, biological, physical, and
ergonomic hazards, and developing practical hazard mitigation plans with appropriate administrative and engineering controls.
We can help your organization develop a OSHA compliant Respiratory Protection Program that meets all regulatory requirements.
We can provide OSHA compliant respiratory protection training and fit
testing for your employees, using qualitative or quantitative protocols,
on-site at your location.
We also offer noise dosimetry assessments, sound level surveys, ventilation
surveys, ergonomic assessments, compliance assistance audits, and compliance investigations.
