industrial hygiene Industrial hygiene may be defined as the science and art devoted to the anticipation, recognition, evaluation and control of environmental factors which may cause impaired health or significant discomfort among workers or the community. We at The Cohen Group take our professional commitment to industrial hygiene seriously. Senior staff are all certified by the American Board of Industrial Hygiene in the comprehensive practice of industrial hygiene and cumulatively have more than 75 years of professional experience in the field. We are active in local and national American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) groups and committees. The Cohen Group conducts air monitoring using state-of-the art methodology to ensure accurate assessments of worker exposure and workplace conditions. We're continually involved with developing and implementing sampling protocols in challenging situations ranging from construction sites to biotech laboratories to semiconductor equipment manufacturing facilities. |
SUCCESS! A large semiconductor manufacturer asked The Cohen Group to evaluate several new operations and to develop an exposure-monitoring program. The monitoring was to assess both daily exposures and those that occurred during maintenance operations. All hazardous chemical and physical agents present were to be addressed. The Cohen Group evaluated the operations and developed a monitoring strategy. We were then asked to implement the schedule. Over the subsequent 12-month period, The Cohen Group conducted air monitoring for solvents, corrosives and gases, measured emissions of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, and assessed noise exposure. All measurements were documented and comprehensive reports were issued to management. The reports included a management summary and detailed presentations of monitoring methods, findings, relevant exposure standards and guidelines, and recommendations for remedial measures where findings exceeded exposure standards. Following workplace changes, the areas were monitored again to demonstrate the success of the corrective actions. |
