Industrial Hygiene

- Personal Protective Equipment - Selection of appropriate gloves, eye and face protection, respirators, and workwear is essential for protecting individuals working with or in the vicinity of hazardous materials.
- Air Quality Assessments - Not only is air quality a potential detriment to your workers' health, it may also be responsible for lost work time and medical costs. Without proper programs and monitoring systems in place the indoor environment can contain sources of chemical or other harmful contaminants. Proper identification of these contaminants and their sources are essential for adequate control or remedy.
- Exposure Monitoring - Workplace monitoring is an essential component of industrial hygiene. Without proper evaluation employees may unknowingly be exposured to airborne chemicals and other hazardous materials in the workplace. Using both certified industrial hygienists and qualified laboratories, the workplace can be evaluated against regulatory and accepted safety limits.
