Assessment of Employee Exposure to Air and Noise Contamination
When dealing with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’ regulations, inspections, and violations regarding employee noise and air contaminant exposure you are required to bring in a Certified Industrial Hygienist to do the sampling.
We, at Practical Safety and Health Solutions, help you respond to OSHA violations based on decades of experience working as OSHA standard enforcement officers, OSHA consultants, as well as complying with OSHA standards within chemical labs, biological research, and manufacturing environments..
We at Practical Safety and Health Solutions help you with your air and noise monitoring/sampling needs to:
- Respond to OSHA violations
- Prepare for OSHA inspections
- Assess employee workplace exposures to noise or chemicals
- Reassess exposures after changes in the workplace, such as installing engineering controls
Our reports meet the requirements of OSHA’s 1910.1020 Employee Exposure and Medical Records standard and include information on record retention to help you understand the employer’s record retention responsibilities.
