  What Is Industrial Hygiene?

Industrial Hygiene is the science of environmental exposure assessment. Industrial Hygienists (IHs) are professionals dedicated to the health and well-being of people, keeping them safe from exposure to hazardous chemicals, biological microorganisms and radiation of all types. Certified Industrial Hygienists (CIH) are those that have reached the highest level of certification available in the field of industrial hygiene and environmental testing. Originally industrial hygienists worked primarily in factories and other industrial settings but as our society has changed, so has the definition of industrial hygiene. Today, IHs can be found in almost every type of work or environmental setting. Some IHs, including EHSI, perform outside the workplace by consulting in residential situations and environmental (e.g., hazardous waste site) projects.

Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) Services

EHSI is located centrally in the pharmaceutical capital of the world in central New Jersey.  We specialize in assisting pharmaceutical manufacturers and R&D facilities assess and manage exposures to these active compounds.  Our experience includes:
  • potent compound exposure assessments
  • reproductive risk assessments
  • development of API performance-based hazard categorization systems
  • ventilation and control system implementation
  • CFD (computer) design modeling of laboratory hoods and ventilation system effectiveness
  • specialized sampling techniques, such as IOMs and surface wipes
  • laboratory decommissioning and facility decontamination (pharmaceutical & radiological) specifications and verification sampling
  • API spill response consultation and cleanup
  • Worker API safety training

Our direct work experience controlling minute quantities of these extremely potent compounds in numerous pharmaceutical  facilities gives us a valuable edge when dealing with other "normal" chemical contaminants in other industries.

EHSI Innovates Industrial Hygiene!

EHSI now uses state-of-the-art statistical tools to evaluate most air sampling results.  This assures your company's compliance with OSHA regulations even on small budgets requiring minimal sampling. Using Bayesian Decision Analysis (BDA) EHSI will accurately calculate the probability of worker over-exposures giving you concrete estimates of the risk of citation and the need for personal protection.  More importantly, BDA numerically leverages our proven professional judgment in statistical estimates explicitly and transparently for well-informed decision-making.  All statistical methods used are recognized and sanctioned by the latest AIHA Exposure Assessment Strategy.
