Chicago Industrial Hygienist

Industrial hygiene involves anticipating, recognizing and evaluating various workplace health risks, including hazards related to air contaminants and dangers associated with biological, chemical, physical and ergonomic stressors. Good industrial hygiene reduces operational costs and minimizes liability in the workplace, and it is critical for supporting employee morale and maintaining your organization’s reputation.

RHP Risk Management’s dedicated team of Certified Industrial Hygienists (CIHs), Public Health Scientists and Certified Safety Professionals (CSPs) offer decades of combined experience in regulatory assessments, environmental evaluations and safety solutions to prevent and control workplace hazards at your Chicago business.

 

Exposure Assessments From a Certified Industrial Hygienist in Chicago

RHP’s industrial hygiene exposure assessments focus on identifying potential workplace hazards, including risks involving fumes, chemicals, noise and ergonomics. Our consultants will help you develop cost-effective solutions to protect your company’s workforce and maintain compliance, including recommending the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) for employees.

The assessments we offer include:

  • Fume: These assessments identify the hazards of fume exposure during brazing, cutting and welding. Our fume extraction efficiency testing involves assessing capture efficiency at an emissions source, measuring airflow, evaluating local exhaust ventilation (LEV) and conducting personal air sampling.
  • Noise: RHP’s noise assessments identify the high-noise areas and operations that could potentially cause noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). Our solutions reduce overall exposure while meeting National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) noise compliance requirements.
  • Lead: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards for general industry, construction and shipyards require employers to protect workers from inorganic lead exposure. These standards apply to operations where any amount of inorganic lead is present.
  • Heat stress: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) outlines the potential risks of heat stress in the workplace, including heat stroke, exhaustion, dizziness and cramps. Our certified hygienists can assess these hazards in various settings, including boiler rooms, smelting areas and other spaces involving excessive heat.

Helping Your Company Develop an Environmental Health and Safety Plan

RHP’s certified industrial hygienists work with Chicago businesses to evaluate existing programs or create new easy-to-implement procedures to ensure safety and compliance with NIOSH strategies and criteria. These programs include:

  • OSHA compliance audits: RHP’s consultants perform third-party assessments to help employers prepare for OSHA inspection and compliance audits.
  • Chemical Hygiene Plans (CHP): The RHP team helps clients develop a Chemical Hygiene Plan indicating the responsibilities, policies and procedures to protect employees from hazardous chemical health risks.
  • Hazard Communications (HazCom): RHP enables clients to create new or modify existing programs showing how they will meet Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) requirements through hazardous material labels, safety data sheets (SDS) and employee training.
  • Fit testing for PPE: RHP helps employers establish training for employees regarding PPE, including when it is necessary, the type of PPE required, how to apply or wear it, its limitations, and the proper care and maintenance. Our team regularly conducts Quantitative Fit Testing (QNFT) and Qualitative Fit Testing (QLFT) for companies wanting to ensure the correct PPE and fit for their employees. Before any employee wears a respirator on the job, OSHA requires fit testing under Respiratory Protection Standard 29 CFR 1910.134.
