Air sampling and
testing
-
Air and bulk dust sampling for a local
cement manufacturer.
-
Air sampling for asbestos, total particulate
and respirable silica during asbestos cement pipes. Air sampling
was requested in order to measure applicable exposure levels using wet
cutting procedures and/or to confirm exposures when using current
cutting methods on cement pipe.
-
Personal and area air sampling for
isocyanates during polyurethane coating application.
Worker exposure assessments
-
Hygiene assessment at a BC Pulp Mill which
included air sampling, noise monitoring and a risk assessment of the
emergency washing facilities.
-
Occupational hygiene assessment of foundry.
Parameters investigated included: total & respirable particulate;
crystalline silica (quartz); metals; carbon monoxide; phenol;
formaldehyde; benzene; MDI (isocyanate) and noise.
-
Working with a local steel and wire
manufacturer. Completed occupational hygiene walk-through surveys,
several projects relating to plant exposures and occupational hygiene
related program component development (e.g. respiratory protection
equipment program).
