INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE
EIS Consulting's Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) can provide expert services for your organization by monitoring physical stressors and chemical contaminants. We will determine the level of chemical exposure in your workplace and compare these results to OSHA’s permissible exposure limits.
When should you evaluate for chemical or noise exposure in the workplace?
- When the employer is uncertain about exposure levels to employees and want to ensure proper protective equipment is utilized
- When employees have complaints about chemical exposures or health effects
- OSHA regulates a number of substances, most of which require baseline air monitoring and depending on the results, may also need periodic monitoring
- To determine if control measures which were put into place are effective
- When work processes change or work hours increase to determine if over-exposures are occurring as a result of new changes
- To evaluate compliance with OSHA's action limit of 85 dBA and permissible exposure limit of 90 dBA
