We can develop a respiratory protection program, fit test your employees and teach them how to use their personal protective devices. If you are establishing a new biotechnology branch or division, we can teach your workers the fundamentals of biosafety.
We can determine if you (or your workforce) are being exposed to potentially hazardous levels of chemical compounds in the workplace or in the home by recognizing hidden or subtle hazards and explaining their potential impact so they may be addressed.
When people are potentially exposed to a hazardous agent or substance, industrial hygiene and biosafety practitioners utilize a number of classical techniques to lower the risk level. Administrative controls may call for the elimination of the offending material from the work process or its substitution with a less toxic material. Engineering controls may include ventilation devices or directional airflow to eliminate hazards at their source of generation. Personal protective devices, such as respirators, may be selected to protect people from breathing airborne contaminants.
All of the activities listed above (training, risk assessment, and hazard mitigation) are individual components of a basic health and safety program only after they are formally adopted and endorsed by the employer. EHS, Inc. can provide the guidance necessary to structure these programs within your organization.
Home owners and renters often face similar health hazards associated with household chemical exposures or biological agents such as molds and allergens. The principles described for protecting workers in the workplace are frequently applicable to the home environment. EHS, Inc. has been providing these services for homeowners for over 25 years at a reasonable cost and a common-sense approach. We can give the same level of care and attention to detail on small jobs as we provide for major projects.That is why our motto is:Protecting people in the places where they live and work.
