Industrial
Hygiene-Sampling and Interpretations
| • |
Perform
atmospheric testing for entry into permit required confined
spaces with real time continuous instrumentation. |
| • |
Perform
sampling for silica, dusts, metals, asbestos, cotton dust,
organic solvents (aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons),
PCBs, and water to detect MCLs using such techniques as
inductively coupled plasma, flame atomic absorption, gas
chromatograph-mass spectrometry, electron capture, flame
ionization detection, transmission electron microscopy,
phase contrast microscopy, X-ray diffraction, etc. |
| • |
Calculate
exposure levels and perform statistical analysis of exposure
data sets to determine compliance with occupational exposure
limits. |
| • |
Noise
surveys |
Compliance
Inspections
Perform
inspections and audits of job sites to identify potential health/safety
hazards including toxic chemical, metals, dust, ergonomic hazards,
fall protection, life safety, and materials handling issues
to meet the requirements of OSHA's General Industry and Construction
Standards (29 CFR 1910 and 1926 respectively, ANSI, NFPA, EPA,
and the NEC.) Consult with company and make recommendations
based on general industry health/safety standards to attain
compliance with applicable standards.
Health
and Safety Plans
Writing
and implementation of site specific health and safety plans
which include work methods, hygiene practices, ambient air sampling,
site specific procedures, proper/adequate/compatible personal
protective equipment, etc.
Program
Auditing & Review
Evaluate
existing procedures, policies, and standard operating procedures
at facilities for content and effectiveness to assist in the
implementation of more effective controls and cost effective
solutions to the identified safety/health deficiencies including
the following: Bloodborne Pathogens, Hazard Communication, Medical
Surveillance, Hearing Conservation, Respiratory Protection,
Confined Spaces, Lockout Tagout, Incident Investigation, Return
to Work Programs, Machine Guarding, etc.
Development
and implementation of safety and health programs and procedures
such as Hazard Communication, Respiratory Protection, Confined
Spaces, and Machine Safety, and Lockout Tagout, etc.
Equipment
Calibration
Calibration
of equipment such as gas meters for confined spaces and low
flow pumps used for OSHA personal sampling. See examples below:
Oxygen
Meters (amperometric cells)
LEL/O2 Meters
CO Meters
4 Gas Meters
Rotometers
