Northeast Test Consultants has been providing employers in industry effective environmental monitoring for over 20 years.

Effective management of worker safety and health protection is a decisive factor in reducing the extent and severity of work-related injuries and illnesses and their related costs to an employer.

Industrial Hygiene is the science of anticipating, recognizing, evaluating, and controlling workplace conditions that may cause workers’ injury or illness.

Such health hazards consist of:

• Air Contaminants
• Chemical Hazards
• Biological Hazards
• Physical Hazards
• Ergonomic Hazards

A worksite analysis is an essential first step that helps an Industrial Hygienist determine what jobs and workstations are the sources of potential problems.

During a worksite analysis, the Industrial Hygienist measures and identifies exposures, and risks. If a situation hazardous to health is discovered, the Industrial Hygienist recommends the appropriate corrective actions to alleviate danger.

Northeast Test Consultants utilizes analytical methods (NIOSH, OSHA, and US EPA Methodologies), as well as, real time direct-read instrumentation to detect the extent of worker exposures to contaminants to aid in the development of engineering controls, work practice controls, or other methods to control potential health hazards.
