ANTICIPATION, RECOGNITION
EVALUATION, AND CONTROL OF
HEALTH
HAZARDS
An industrial hygiene assessment
is useful to confirm suspect low
exposures to hazardous
materials, to determine adequacy
of exposure controls, to
establish an exposure baseline,
to comply with OSHA routine
exposure requirements, and to
determine exposure compliance
with that which management has
established as an in-house
acceptable exposure level. Omega
Southwest Consulting seeks to
creatively design exposure
controls in order to control
costs. Certified Industrial
Hygienist with broad base of
expertise. |
