Prolonged exposure to hazards related to gases, inadequate temperature control, noise and micropollutants can impair health and increase the risk of occupational disease. These can lead to increased employee downtime, reduced productivity and potential penalties for non-compliance with health and safety regulations.
We help you create and maintain a safer workplace by assessing exposure to harmful elements, whether during the design stage of a new workplace or during normal operations. After we perform our assessment, our industrial hygienist will work with you to control potential health hazards, providing you with a sustainable plan that addresses any issues. Assessments will continue throughout your facility’s operation lifecycle to ensure ongoing protection and compliance.
