Industrial Hygiene
Qualitative Exposure Assessment (Risk assessment):
- Anticipation and identification of Chemical, Physical and Biological hazards.
- Risk characterization – identifying high risks and prioritizing risk mitigation measures.
- Pre-requisite for developing robust and reliable exposure monitoring plan.
Performed by Certified Industrial Hygienists or Senior/ Experienced Industrial Hygienists.
Quantitative Exposure Assessment (Exposure monitoring) for :
-
Chemicals
- Industry accepted air monitoring / analytical methods complying with regulatory requirements.
- Most Recent and Calibrated state-of the art monitoring equipment.
- Accredited Laboratories for samples’ analysis.
- Results interpretation with regulatory exposure limits and globally recognized guidelines.
- Statistical tools for exposure profile determination/data analysis.
- Recommendations for exposure mitigation and employee protection.
Monitoring strategy development, project onsite support and report review by Certified Industrial Hygienists.
