HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM
Worker safety can be at risk due to hexavalent chromium exposure, and these hazards require full-scale management rather than piecemeal solutions. In fact, in November 2006 OSHA lowered the permissible exposure limit for hexavalent chromium from 50 micrograms to 5 micrograms per cubic meter of air. This regulatory change has far-reaching implications and has greatly intensified the need to address the problem in a timely, comprehensive manner.
We perform characterization, monitoring, and evaluation of site conditions and worker exposure, then produce an exhaustive report and design a remediation plan. We also work closely with both our clients and regulatory agencies to provide updates regardingcompliance solutions. In addition, we can perform feasibility studies to develop a long-term strategy for reducing cleanup timeframes, as well as train our clients to truly understand the complexities of OSHA compliance.
As a result of our skill and experience in this area, we are playing a key role in the nation’s largest study of industrial workers and welders exposure to hexavalent chromium.
