Perhaps more importantly, a company with a solid health and safety program can expect to lessen its insurance premiums and to reduce its potential liabilities and associated financial risks. The audit helped the company reduce its injury rate from five in 1994 to one in 1997, and its lost workdays from 27 in 1994 to none in 1997. EHS Services, Inc. provides comprehensive services to safeguard the health and safety of workers in all types of facilities. Safety assessments encompass many different activities depending on the nature of the business. In general, we look at work area ingress and egress, electrical safety, fire safety, walking surfaces, stairways, and confined spaces.
Special attention is given to workers with special needs.
We monitor noise levels, compare them to accepted standards, interview staff members, and offer recommendations, where needed, to reduce the intensity of the noise source or protect the workers exposed to the noise. We also develop and implement hearing conservation plans in compliance with OSHA requirements. If the work at your facility causes emissions of potentially hazardous chemicals to be released into the indoor air, then you may be required to conduct personal exposure monitoring. We sample for chemicals such as acetone, benzene, formaldehyde, methylene chloride, styrene, and many more. We compare the results with applicable OSHA exposure limits and advise you of mitigation requirements, if necessary.
