Our industrial hygiene programs provide a complete solution for minimizing workplace hazards that can result in injury, illness or affect the well-being of workers. Service components may include a hazard assessment, ongoing monitoring, policy & procedure review and development, and supervisor and employee training.
ASSESSMENT - We will provide assessments of hazards for ergonomics and laser safety management, along with a report and recommendations. We can also provide exposure assessments for:
MONITORING - We can provide one-time and ongoing monitoring of noise and air quality hazards and exposure levels in your work environment to develop a baseline for future monitoring and provide recommendations to mitigate risks.
POLICY & PROCEDURES DEVELOPMENT AND REVIEW - We will work with you to develop a company or operation-specific policy with specific procedures and controls, including applicable personal protective equipment.
TRAINING PROGRAM - We can provide initial and annual training for supervisors and employees.
OSHA requires that employees be placed in a hearing conservation program if they are exposed to average noise levels of 85 dB or greater during an eight-hour workday. To determine if your exposures are at or above this level, J. J. Keller will monitor your work environments and provide an exposure report with recommendations on how extensive your hearing conservation program should be. We will also develop or review policies for noise monitoring.
Airborne contaminants can present significant threats to worker safety and health. J. J. Keller will monitor your work environment for chemical exposures; air particulates such as dust, fumes, and mold; and extreme temperatures. Upon conclusion of the air monitoring service, you will receive an exposure report and recommendations to ensure you are protecting your employees. J. J. Keller will also develop or review your policies and procedures and help you track and manage your air monitoring, training, and medical surveillance records.
You can create a more ergonomically correct workspace, as well as prevent repetitive motion injuries for at-risk employees, with the findings and recommendations you’ll receive from our ergonomics assessment. Our experienced consultants will spend time with your workers, job shadowing and conducting interviews. Their assessment will identify problem areas and offer recommendations for engineering, administrative or PPE controls.
Eye safety is the number one concern when working with or near a laser. Through our laser safety services, our consultants will evaluate the exposures your lasers present to workers, match PPE and signage to the various lasers you have in your facilities, and develop or review your company’s policies for laser safety. We can also assist you with identifying and training your Laser Safety Officer if needed.
The primary risk exposure from lasers is damage to a person’s retina or vision. All lasers are classified in one of four potential classes. Class 1 lasers are the only class of lasers that don’t present any risk exposure. Class 2 and above present risks that require safety protection. Many companies are not aware that simply giving employees PPE is not enough.
One of the most common workplace injuries are due to muscoloskeletal disorders (MSDs), which are typically caused by the repetitive motion found in manufacturing, construction, service and office industries. Although ergonomics is not specifically called out by OSHA, the General Duty Clause requires employers to take action to correct or eliminate all injuries in the workplace.
