Industrial Hygiene and Safety

Employee injuries hurt everyone.   Besides the immediate trauma felt by the worker, companies lose a trained, valuable employee effecting productivity and quality control.   Frequent accidents also alert regulators, boost worker's compensation premiums and medical costs.   Nobody wins.

An industrial hygiene and safety program designed to identify hazardous work environments often conveys a sense of care and concern to employees.   In addition, a thoroughly conceived program will help insure compliance with OSHA standards, avoiding the cost and disruption caused by OSHA fines and enforcement activities.

ABF's team of industrial hygiene and safety professionals are directed by a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) with more than 28 years of experience. Quality results are further insured by using laboratories accredited by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA), and sampling procedures according to OSHA and NIOSH protocols. Programs and services provided by ABF include:
