Development of Occupational and Environmental Health Programs

Today’s regulatory environment and good management practices mandate the development of formal programs to evaluate and control potential hazards in the workplace. OSHA regulations routinely require initial evaluations of workplaces and specific processes. If potential problems exist, they must be controlled in a manner that is effective, cost-efficient, and in compliance with applicable regulations. IHST offers a variety of professional services to assist clients in meeting these goals.

IHST offers full OSHA compliance audits, task- or process-specific inspections, and program review. In addition, IHST can provide full or part-time support for existing programs. Offerings include program development and review, OSHA record maintenance, monitoring and testing services, inspection and auditing services, training, and advisory support. IHST also offers support during legal or regulatory actions, including regulatory data and literature searches, monitoring and testing, technical assistance, and expert witness services.
