General Industry and Manufacturing

A snack food manufacturer had an ongoing need for industrial hygiene support.  Approximately 1600 samples for various constituents were collected over a ten-year period to characterize potential employee exposures and area concentrations throughout the facility.  SES personnel maintained information in a database with statistical analyses where outliers could be identified and exposure trends could be monitored.  The company has been able to use this information for risk management and liability reduction.

Raw Materials Manufacturing

A large steel manufacturer with multiple regional locations had an ongoing need for coordinated hygiene program support.  Industrial hygiene sampling plans were developed for each facility, detailing potential employee exposures to chemical and physical hazards for each job designation.  From this information, sampling frequencies were specified and executed.  The sampling plan and accompanying sampling information has been used for risk management purposes and to support VPP status with OSHA.

Educational Institution

A university campus had an emergency need for IH support when claims of fungal contamination were reported by the media.  A comprehensive sampling and monitoring program was developed by SES personnel to evaluate air quality and fungal spore occurrence throughout the newly constructed portions of the campus.  The resulting data allowed the client to accurately and quickly respond to the media.

Healthcare Facility

Industrial Hygiene support was required for an insurance company providing coverage to approximately forty regional hospitals in the Midwestern United States.  Samples were collected for waste anesthetic gas, formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, xylene, ethylene oxide and lead at each facility.  The data was used to implement new exposure control plans, and modify existing plans.
