Hearing Conservation
We offer both area and personal noise monitoring. We’ll determine if hearing protection should be required, as well as who needs to be included in a hearing conservation program. We can also develop your hearing conservation program and complete the PPE hazard assessments required by OSHA.
Ergonomics
To help your employees prevent musculoskeletal disorders, we’ll job shadow your workers and conduct interviews to identify problem areas and offer recommendations for engineering, administrative or PPE controls.
Laser Safety
Our consultants will evaluate your laser exposures, match PPE and signage to the various lasers in your facilities and develop or review your company’s policies for laser safety.
Air Monitoring
We begin by determining what constituents need to be evaluated in your workplace, including chemical and byproduct exposures to volatile organic compounds, dusts, vapors, mists, fumes and other air contaminates. Then you’ll receive an exposure report and recommendations to ensure you’re protecting employees and complying with all federal and state standards and emphasis programs.
Additional Supplemental Services

Industrial Hygiene Services FAQs
What is the risk from using lasers?
expand_moreexpand_lessThe primary risk exposure from lasers is damage to a person’s retina or vision. All lasers are classified in one of four potential classes. Class 1 lasers are the only class of lasers that don’t present any risk exposure. Class 2 and above present risks that require safety protection. Many companies are not aware that simply giving employees PPE is not enough.
What is the importance of ergonomics in the workplace?
expand_moreexpand_lessOne of the most common workplace injuries are due to muscoloskeletal disorders (MSDs), which are typically caused by the repetitive motion found in manufacturing, construction, service and office industries. Although ergonomics is not specifically called out by OSHA, the General Duty Clause requires employers to take action to correct or eliminate all injuries in the workplace.
