Industrial Hygiene Expertise When You Need It
When Employee Exposure Questions Come Up, Getting the Right Answer Matters
Protecting employees from workplace exposures can raise questions that are not always easy to answer.
- What needs to be evaluated?
- Who should be monitored?
- Is the exposure data you already have enough?
- What type of assessment or monitoring will give you the information you need?
Whether you are dealing with a specific concern or looking for additional Industrial Hygiene expertise, DEKRA can help you understand what you are facing and determine practical next steps.
What are you trying to figure out?
Industrial Hygiene needs can look very different from one workplace to another. You may be:
- Evaluating employee exposure to dust, fumes, solvents, silica, noise or other hazards
- Deciding whether air sampling or exposure monitoring is needed
- Reviewing historical exposure data to determine whether it still represents current conditions
- Assessing the impact of a new process, material, piece of equipment or change in production
- Determining which employees, tasks or areas should be evaluated
- Looking for help interpreting exposure information and deciding what to do next
- Strengthening an existing Industrial Hygiene program
- Trying to keep IH work moving when your internal team does not have enough time or specialized resources
You do not need to know exactly what services you require before talking with us. Bring us the question you are trying to answer, and we can help determine the right approach.
Start with the information you need
Sampling and monitoring are important Industrial Hygiene tools, but collecting more data is not the goal. The goal is having the right information to make decisions about the people you are responsible for protecting.
Sometimes historical data can answer the question. Sometimes additional monitoring is appropriate. In other situations, a qualitative exposure assessment can help determine where to focus first.
DEKRA’s Industrial Hygiene experts can help you understand what you already know, identify what additional information may be useful and develop an approach based on your workplace priorities and the decisions you need to make.
