With hundreds of Federal and State regulations designed to protect worker safety and limit occupational hazards, employers are often uncertain where to begin or how to determine whether or not they are in compliance. Enviroair Consultants can help companies to properly assess their situation by providing a wide range of related industrial hygiene and safety services.

Some of the safety programs we offer include:

Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) Programs
In April 1994, OSHA tightened the personal protective equipment (PPE) standards. These regulations, applicable to general industry employers, mandate employers to perform assessments to determine whether hazards requiring the use of PPE are present in the workplace. Employers must provide written documentation to verify that a hazard assessment has been performed.

Enviroair can assist employers in their compliance efforts by performing a thorough site assessment and/or developing a written PPE program. Our staff will first conduct a site assessment which includes employee interviews, task and process analysis, and an evaluation of the current PPE. The assessment findings are documented and reported, outlining any potential need for additional or different types of PPE.

The information gathered during the assessment phase is typically used to develop the written program on the selection, use, care and maintenance of recommended PPE. Enviroair also has experience in delivering employee training programs, during which attendees are instructed on how to determine when PPE is necessary, and what PPE should be used. Attendees will also be instructed as to the proper donning, doffing, adjusting, benefits, limitations and maintenance of their PPE. See our Custom Training webpage for details on this and other available training programs.

Safety Program Audits
With Certified Safety Professionals on staff, Enviroair has the expertise to perform mock OSHA inspections or detailed safety program audits. Our staff can assist employers who wish to implement safety programs which will help reduce worker compensation claims. Properly conducted, a safety audit can help to prevent worker injuries which can result in improved productivity and morale.
