Workplace and worker monitoring programs, including
noise and indoor air quality, are designed and implemented to aid in the
evaluation of occupational risk. Worker health effects can be evaluated through
interpretation of monitoring data. Specific issues surrounding radiation
safety, designated substances and employees' right-to-know legislation are
addressed. Management of occupational health and safety issues includes design
of industrial hygiene programs and review of regulations for potentially
hazardous workplace contaminants.
Post accident evaluations can be used
to evaluate risks of long term (chronic) health effects to workers resulting
from exposure to hazardous substances. Quantitative health risks are useful in
awarding compensation and communicating risks.
Indoor air quality
monitoring is performed in conjunction with risk assessment to determine
sources of health complaints and evaluate any potential acute and chronic
effects to workers. Risk management recommendations are made to minimize risks
and liabilities.
