Industrial Hygiene/OSHA Compliance Monitoring
"Sound technical advise, regulatory knowledge and prompt response
for our rail and maintenance facilities in the Mid-Atlantic States"
National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak)
AET's Industrial Hygienists will assist your staff to develop a comprehensive monitoring program tailored to fit your needs. If worker exposure is an issue, AET will provide your staff with personal monitors to determine the level of exposure in the work place. AET can also provide electronic direct reading instrumentation to determine the level of exposure to a given chemical or to monitor an area for off-gases or contaminant leakage. Sampling is performed in accordance with NIOSH/OSHA protocols for direct comparison with OSHA or ACGIH standards. (see project profile)
Scope of Services
- Certified Industrial Hygienist preparation of comprehensive sampling strategies in accordance with NIOSH/OSHA protocols, ensure quality control/chain of custody and the final report.
- Industrial Hygienist evaluation of recognized environmental hazards by performing thorough visual inspections and sample collection. Engineering controls including personal protective equipment, ventilation controls, and/or administrative controls are also evaluated.
Environmental hazards which are typically evaluated include:
- Air contaminants as defined by Permissible Exposure Limits found in OSHA regulations (Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations Part 1910.1000).
- Noise exposures as regulated by OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.95. Noise evaluations can include sound level meter measurements, noise dosimetry on employees and/or band analysis for noise controls.
- Radiation exposures (radio frequency, microwave, ultraviolet) as recommended by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH).
- Heat stress exposures as recommended by the ACGIH.
- Ergonomic evaluations as recommended by the ACGIH.
- Worker safety including personal protective equipment use during processing of materials or handling.
