An industrial hygiene program focuses on identifying, evaluating, and controlling workplace environmental hazards.

Key Components:

• Hazard Identification: Recognizing chemical, physical, biological, and ergonomic hazards.
• Exposure Assessment: Measuring workers’ exposure to hazardous agents.
• Control Measures: Implementing engineering controls (ventilation, isolation), administrative controls (work practices), and PPE.
• Health Surveillance: Monitoring workers’ health and conducting regular medical check-ups.
• Training: Educating workers about hazards and safe practices.
• Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring adherence to OSHA and other relevant regulations.

This service ensures that compressed air and breathing air meet safety and quality standards.

Key Components:

Air Quality Testing: Analyzing for contaminants like oil mist, water vapor, carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and particulates.

Compliance Standards: Ensuring air meets OSHA, NFPA, and CGA standards.

System Inspections: Checking air compression systems for leaks and contamination.

Ventilation monitoring ensures that workplace ventilation systems effectively control exposure to airborne contaminants.

Key Components:

Airflow Measurement: Assessing the volume and direction of air movement.

Contaminant Levels: Measuring concentrations of airborne contaminants.

System Evaluation: Checking the effectiveness of HVAC systems.

Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring systems meet OSHA and ASHRAE standards

Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) programs are designed to identify and mitigate leaks of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other hazardous gases.

Key Components:

Leak Detection: Using instruments to detect leaks from valves, pumps, and connectors.

Repair Strategies: Implementing prompt repair of identified leaks.

Documentation: Maintaining detailed records of inspections, leaks, and repairs.

Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring compliance with EPA and other regulatory requirements.

Indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring assesses and ensures the air within buildings is healthy and safe.

Key Components:

Pollutant Measurement: Detecting levels of CO2, VOCs, particulate matter, mold, and other pollutants.

Ventilation Assessment: Ensuring adequate ventilation rates.

Humidity and Temperature: Monitoring and controlling indoor humidity and temperature.

Health Impact Analysis: Identifying potential health impacts from poor IAQ.

Regulatory Compliance: Meeting standards such as those from OSHA and ASHRAE.

A safety audit systematically evaluates an organization’s safety practices, policies, and compliance with regulations.

Key Components:

Program Review: Assessing the effectiveness of existing safety programs.

Site Inspection: Identifying workplace hazards and unsafe practices.

Compliance Check: Ensuring adherence to OSHA and other regulatory standards.

Recommendations: Providing actionable recommendations to improve safety.

Follow-up: Ensuring corrective actions are implemented.

Risk assessment identifies and evaluates risks to worker safety and health, providing a basis for decision-making.

Key Components:

Hazard Identification: Recognizing potential hazards.

Risk Analysis: Determining the likelihood and severity of risks.

Control Implementation: Developing strategies to mitigate identified risks.

Monitoring and Review: Continuously monitoring and updating risk controls.

Documentation: Maintaining records of risk assessments and controls.

An ergonomics survey evaluates workplace design to prevent musculoskeletal disorders and improve worker comfort and productivity.

Key Components:

Workstation Assessment: Evaluating the setup of desks, chairs, tools, and equipment.

Task Analysis: Analyzing tasks for repetitive motions, awkward postures, and excessive force.

Recommendations: Suggesting ergonomic improvements such as adjustable furniture and equipment.

Training: Educating workers on proper ergonomic practices.

Follow-up: Monitoring the effectiveness of ergonomic interventions.
