HOSPITAL HEALTH
AND SAFETY SUPPORT
Omega Southwest Consulting
performs a wide
range of industrial hygiene and
environmental health risk
assessments for hospitals. A
risk assessment includes
anticipation, recognition,
evaluation, and control of
industrial, commercial,
institutional, and outdoor
environmental health hazards.
Recommendations generally
include creative, effective
alterative control methods. This
allows the client to make
choices and control costs.
Hospital requirements often
include indoor air quality, mold
and other microbial hazards.
