Environmental Health & Safety

Conduct investigations into the cause and origin of injuries in construction, healthcare, shipyards, industrial, residential, and other settings. Investigate slips, trips and falls, falls from heights, electrocution, motor vehicle operations, automatic door incidents, and other types of injuries. Perform accident reconstruction, evaluation of timing and events, root cause analysis, evaluation of applicable codes and standards, interview witnesses, develop  alternative causes. Evaluate relevance of OSHA standards and OSHA Multi-employer Citation Policy.

Construction and industrial accidents, premises liability, worker’s compensation claims, and civil liability disputes.

Environmental forensics, injury & illness claims support, and assessment of exposures.

Evaluation of a workplace against applicable OSHA standards. We assess whether conditions and practices met regulatory requirements.

Assessment of safety on active construction sites. We evaluate site conditions, practices, and controls against applicable requirements. Determine employer responsibilities per OSHA Multi-Employer Worksite policies.

Review and audit of workplace safety programs and policies. We assess whether a program was adequate and properly implemented.

Risk assessment and identification and evaluation of workplace hazards. We determine what hazards were present and whether they were adequately controlled.

Assessment of the indoor environment affecting health and comfort, including air quality, moisture, and related building conditions.

Investigation of mold growth and its moisture sources. Conduct microbial sampling  involving air, surface, dust, bulk material, urine, and other biological samples; evaluate microbial results relative to site conditions, medical reports, and health complaints. We determine the cause and extent of contamination and the remediation required.

Investigate incidents involving injuries due to falls from height in general industry and construction settings, with specialized experience involving skylights, and steel construction. Develop and provide fall protection training programs as OSHA qualified competent fall protection persons.

Evaluation of indoor air quality and airborne contaminants and their potential effect on occupants.

Development, evaluation, and improvement of environmental health and safety programs, including Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), Hazard Communication (HAZCOM), Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), and emergency action and fire prevention plans. 

HAZWOPER site-specific health and safety programs, site characterization and analysis, and on-site monitoring.

Guidance and oversight for cleanup and remediation. We help scope, direct, and verify corrective work.

Evaluation of compliance with environmental and safety regulations. We determine whether applicable requirements were met.
