RHP Risk Management Inc. is proud to announce that our Exposure Sciences Laboratory has achieved accreditation from the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA). This milestone reflects our continued commitment to delivering high-quality, defensible data and reinforces our position as a trusted partner in occupational health and exposure sciences.
What is A2LA Accreditation?
A2LA is a globally recognized accreditation body that evaluates laboratories against rigorous international standards. Accreditation confirms that a laboratory operates with demonstrated technical competence, validated methodologies, and a robust quality management system.
Achieving A2LA accreditation involves a comprehensive third-party assessment of laboratory procedures, staff qualifications, equipment calibration, data integrity, and overall operational consistency. Accredited laboratories must also maintain compliance through ongoing audits and continuous improvement.
Why A2LA Accreditation Matters
For our clients, our A2LA accreditation provides confidence that the data generated is reliable, defensible, and meets recognized industry standards. No matter what your needs are, our accredited laboratory results carry greater credibility and acceptance among regulators and stakeholders.
In an environment where data quality directly impacts health decisions, liability, and business outcomes, working with RHP helps reduce uncertainty and supports more informed decision-making.
RHP’s A2LA accreditation shows that we are an organization that meets a high standard of technical competence and produce results that can be trusted both nationally and internationally. Our A2LA-accredited laboratory uses state-of-the-art technology, including the Malvern Spraytec for particle size distribution testing and the AeroTrak® Handheld Particle Counter for classification of air cleanliness by particle concentration.
RHP’s Exposure Sciences Laboratory Capabilities
RHP’s Exposure Sciences Laboratory supports a wide range of industrial hygiene and environmental testing needs. Our services help clients identify, quantify, and manage exposure risks across diverse industries.
