Industrial Hygiene Compliance, Monitoring, and Training

Industrial Hygiene Fundamentals

Protect Your People and Your Business with Expert Industrial Hygiene Solutions

Employee health and safety depend on more than compliance; it requires proactive monitoring and effective controls to reduce workplace exposure risks. U.S. Compliance’s Industrial Hygiene (IH) services help you identify, measure, and control occupational hazards that could affect your team’s health or your organization’s compliance status.

Our certified Industrial Hygienists partner with manufacturers, construction firms, and industrial facilities across North America to assess exposures, conduct monitoring, and develop tailored programs that meet OSHA and EPA requirements. Through our Compliance as a Service (CaaS) model, we integrate ongoing testing, evaluation, and training into your total safety and environmental management system.

Air Sampling

Sampling worksite contaminants is essential for ensuring a safe and healthy environment for workers by identifying potential exposure risks. This process involves collecting air, surface, or material samples to analyze the presence and concentration of harmful substances. Common contaminants found in worksites include dust, silica, asbestos, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), heavy metals (such as lead, mercury, and cadmium), carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, benzene, ammonia, pesticides, and microbial hazards. Proper sampling methods, such as air monitoring, direct-reading instruments and bulk material analysis, help in assessing workplace safety, ensuring regulatory compliance, and implementing effective hazard control measures.

Noise Monitoring

Noise monitoring is a crucial process for assessing workplace noise levels and ensuring compliance with occupational health and safety regulations. Excessive noise exposure can lead to hearing loss, reduced productivity, increased stress levels and communication difficulties among workers. By conducting regular noise monitoring, companies can identify areas where noise levels exceed permissible exposure limits and implement effective control measures, such as engineering controls, administrative policies or personal protective equipment (PPE). Monitoring also helps businesses meet regulatory requirements, avoid legal penalties, and create a safer, more comfortable work environment. Ultimately, investing in noise monitoring protects employees’ health, enhances efficiency, and reduces long-term costs associated with hearing-related injuries and workers compensation claims.

Ergonomic Assessments

Conducting ergonomic assessments is essential for identifying and mitigating workplace hazards that can lead to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), fatigue and decreased productivity. These assessments evaluate factors such as workstation design, body posture, repetitive motions and lifting techniques to ensure employees can perform their tasks safely and efficiently. By proactively addressing ergonomic risks, companies can reduce workplace injuries, lower workers compensation costs and improve overall employee well-being. Additionally, a well-designed ergonomic program enhances worker comfort, increases efficiency and boosts morale, leading to higher job satisfaction and retention. Investing in ergonomic assessments ultimately helps businesses create a safer, healthier and more productive work environment while maintaining compliance with occupational health and safety standards.
