Workplace Safety

Asbestos Consulting

 Although  asbestos fibers are a known carcinogen, proper management and control  of asbestos-containing materials (ACM) is the most cost-effective way  for a building owner or manager to minimize risk to building occupants  while controlling costs. The OSHA Asbestos Construction Standard, 29 CFR  1926.1101, requires that the employer communicate the existence of  asbestos to building occupants. “Employers and building owners shall  identify TSI (thermal system insulation) and sprayed or troweled on  surfacing materials as asbestos-containing…” A thorough building survey  with bulk material sampling and analysis by accredited personnel is the  only way to prove that a presumed asbestos containing material (PACM)  does not contain asbestos.

Bulk Surveys

A complete asbestos survey including photos of ACM, AutoCAD© drawings  indicating the location and distribution of ACM, field labeled  materials, and a complete room-by-room asbestos inventory is the most  efficient way to manage asbestos in a building with suggestions for  asbestos abatement programs.

Project Design

With an accurate asbestos inventory, professional asbestos abatement  design becomes an even more cost-effective approach to proper asbestos  removal. Workplace Safety & Health Co., Inc. can assist with  asbestos abatement contractor selection and monitor their performance to  ensure that the building owner’s risks are properly controlled.

O&M Programs

An accurate asbestos inventory is the basic building block to  successful operations and maintenance (O&M) program management.  Site-specific asbestos abatement policies, periodic inspections and  exposure monitoring are prudent ways for building owners to control  asbestos exposure risks to building occupants and visiting contractors.  Workplace Safety & Health Co., Inc. has the expertise to partner  with you to control risk.

Confined Space Evaluations

 Confined  spaces can become deadly places if not properly identified and managed.  The OSHA “Permit-Required Confined Spaces” standard, 29 CFR 1910.146,  requires that the employer determine if any existing confined spaces are  permit-required. If permit-required confined spaces exist, employees  must be informed of the hazards presented by the space and only be  allowed into the spaces after a full confined spaces assessment entry  program has been written and implemented.

Effective Programming

An effective “confined space” program must include sufficient  measures to prohibit unauthorized confined space entry. Acceptable  confined space entry conditions must be created using atmospheric  testing, hazard isolation, inerting, purging or ventilating procedures  to provide safe conditions.

Space Identification

Many employers are confused about the true definition of a confined  space. The experience of Workplace Safety & Health Co., Inc.  consultants can be utilized to identify confined spaces and assess  whether they should be listed as “permit-required.” In some cases,  permit-required confined spaces can be reclassified to non-permit spaces  if all hazards can be completely eliminated.

Ergonomics Consulting

  

Ergonomics  is the study of the relationship between people, their work, and their  physical work environment. The major purpose of ergonomics is to fit the  job to the individual and promote healthy and safe work practices.  Workplace Safety & Health Company can assist you with your ergonomic  risk identification, assessment, and solution needs.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety &  Health Administration (OSHA) website, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)  involve tendons, muscles, and nerves. Musculoskeletal disorders that  develop at work (including those of the neck, upper extremities, and low  back) are one of the leading causes of lost workday injury and illness,  according to OSHA. In a number of industries, a worker’s likelihood of  injury is increased by workplace exposure to risk factors, such as  “lifting heavy items, bending, reaching overhead, pushing and pulling  heavy loads, working in awkward body postures and performing the same or  similar tasks repetitively.” However, applying the principles of  ergonomics to the work environment can help prevent work-related  injuries. Whatever the body size, shape, and personal limitations, the  goal of ergonomics is to evaluate the total human being, both mental and  physical, and then apply sound principles to each individual's needs.  Whether someone is working with heavy machinery or sitting at a desk,  the practice of good ergonomics will provide health benefits now and in  the long run help workers feel more invigorated, comfortable, and  productive.

Workplace Safety & Health Company specializes in evaluating  employee workstations, assessing potential for injury, prioritizing  stations based on risk, and making appropriate recommendations in order  to reduce or eliminate worker ergo-related risk as a whole.

Lead-based Paint Assessments

 Workplace Safety & Health Co. Inc. industrial hygienists cover a  wide breadth of workplace environmental concerns, from noise to air  quality, from chemical exposure to asbestos and lead paint  identification. We can identify and evaluate hazards, and develop  corrective action plans to economically solve your industrial hygiene  problems.

Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations 1926.62, OSHA’s Lead Standard  for the construction industry, addresses lead in a variety of forms,  including metallic lead, all inorganic lead compounds, and organic lead  soaps. According OSHA, lead is a cumulative and persistent toxic  substance that poses a serious health risk.

Paint Sampling
There are currently two methods  recognized by EPA for testing paint: using an X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF)  analyzer and taking paint chip samples that are then analyzed by an  accredited laboratory. We also use AutoCAD drawings to indicate the  location of each sample. Photographs are taken of every sampling  location to document the appearance of each surface coating we analyze.

Routes of Exposure
Certain types of lead exposure  can damage the kidneys and the cardiovascular, central nervous or other  body systems. It also can be harmful in children’s development. Most  commonly, lead is inhaled as a dust or fume or accidentally ingested.  Once it has entered the bloodstream, lead circulates through the body  and is stored in certain organs and body tissues.

Often remodeling or renovation projects such as sanding, cutting with  saws or torches, and demolition can create hazardous lead chips and  dust by disturbing lead-based paint, which can be an unhealthy  environment for adults and children. Workplace Safety & Health Co.  Inc. can provide industry-standard testing for lead-based paint  according to OSHA standards.

Lockout/Tagout

 Controlling hazardous energy is a must for all industrial  maintenance activities where the sudden release of energy can cause  injury or death. The “Control of Hazardous Energy” standard, 29 CFR  1910.147, requires that all sources of energy related to a machine or  piece of equipment must be identified and controlled with  “lockout/tagout” procedures so as to prevent the unexpected  energization, start-up or release of stored or residual energy.

Effective Programming

An effective “lockout/tagout” procedure should include documented  machine-specific energy isolation procedures, which are carefully  developed to follow manufacturer suggested shutdown procedures and  isolate and dissipate all energy sources.

Training

Effective energy control programs include initial and annual training  to authorized and affected employees and periodic inspections observing  the use of procedures to ensure the program’s continued effectiveness.  The “Lockout/tagout” regulation is one of the top five cited OSHA  standards. Many employers have found that generic procedures addressing  an entire department or common type of machine were simply not detailed  enough to prevent employee injuries or OSHA scrutiny. Here is where  Workplace Safety & Health Co., Inc. can accommodate your needs.

Data Management

The careful machine evaluations, quality graphics, powerful database  software and detailed labeling provided by Workplace Safety & Health  Co., Inc. will elevate a marginal lockout/tagout program to an  effective risk management tool.

Noise Measurement

Noise Control

Download Brochure

Noise, or unwanted sound, is one of the most pervasive occupational  health problems. It is a by-product of many industrial and commercial  processes. Exposure to high levels of noise causes hearing loss and may  cause other harmful health effects as well. The extent of damage depends  primarily on the intensity and duration of the exposure. Noise-induced  hearing loss can be temporary or permanent. OSHA promulgated a hearing  conservation amendment that became effective in 1983, (29 CFR 1910.95,  Occupational Noise Exposure Standard) requiring hearing conservation  programs for all employees exposed to noise on an eight-hour, time  weighted average (TWA) in excess of 85 decibels measured on an  A-weighted scale (85 dBA). The permissible exposure limit is 90 dBA for  an eight-hour TWA.

Hearing Conservation Program
Virtually all  companies that perform manufacturing, construction or mining activities  create noise. The first step to protecting your employees’ hearing is to  establish a hearing conservation program. The program includes  provisions for noise measurement, engineering and/or administrative  control of noise, audiometric (individual employee hearing) testing and  provision of hearing protectors.

Noise Surveys
With an accurate noise survey, the  cost impact of a hearing conservation program can be minimized. Using  top quality sound level meters and noise dosimeters, Workplace Safety  & Health Co., Inc. can help you identify only those employees that  need to be included in the noise control program and determine if the  initial cost of engineering controls is a sound investment over the  on-going costs of hearing conservation program management. Workplace  Safety & Health Co., Inc. has the expertise to help you make sound  decisions for noise measurement and control.
