Continuous and Proactive Monitoring
With over 100,000 chemicals in industrial use today, staying ahead of potential health hazards is a significant challenge for any organization. This is particularly true for high-risk sectors, including manufacturing, construction and engineering, labs, health care and hazardous waste treatment. While OSHA regulates specific materials, many workplace hazards require a more nuanced, evidence-based approach to promote employee health and safety.
MOH helps you and your team navigate these complexities through a structured, ongoing surveillance program:
- Actionable intervention: Working directly with your team to implement corrective measures and safeguard employee health if exposure standards are exceeded
- Baseline evaluations: Establishing an initial health profile for employees before they are exposed to specific materials or environments
- Early detection: Identifying the initial signs of work-related complications—such as allergic reactions or noise-induced hearing loss—to protect employees and reduce workers’ compensation liability
- Periodic retesting: Conducting scheduled screenings to verify that exposure levels remain within safe, permissible limits
OSHA Regulations for Medical Surveillance
Certain industrial materials require strict medical oversight to meet federal safety mandates. Our providers are experts in the specific testing protocols required for:
- Chemical compounds: Specialized monitoring is available for benzene and hexavalent chromium.
- Heavy metals: Precision screening for lead, cadmium and mercury tracks biological markers of exposure.
- Respirator clearance: Detailed HAZMAT respirator questionnaires and fit-testing support confirm the effectiveness of personal protective equipment.
- Silica, coal and asbestos: Initial and periodic exams monitor respiratory health and ensure compliance with OSHA standards.
