OCCUPATIONAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SAFETY
OEH Solutions is a comprehensive industrial hygiene and scientific consulting firm, focused on human health and environmental risk sciences. We address complex technical challenges related to chemical and biological exposures, offering scientifically sound and pragmatic health and safety solutions nationwide. Utilizing decades of experience and data-directed methods, we partner with organizations of all sizes to navigate evolving occupational regulations and manage complex health risks.
SERVICES
-
Our seasoned experts offer specialized witness services and litigation support for complex toxic tort and premises liability cases nationwide. Grounded in decades of field experience, we perform exposure reconstructions, case reviews, and critical analyses of safety programs. We translate complex scientific data into clear, objective, and defensible testimony built to withstand legal scrutiny.
-
We provide independent industrial hygiene and environmental consulting services for insurance claims, product liability, construction defect, and remediation disputes. Our services include exposure assessments, moisture mapping, combustion by-product sampling, indoor air quality investigations, and evaluation of remediation effectiveness.
-
Our team conducts detailed, tailored exposure assessments to quantify worker and environmental exposure to hazardous substances. Utilizing personal and area air monitoring alongside bulk and surface sampling, we interpret data against current occupational exposure limits. Every evaluation includes actionable recommendations to manage and mitigate identified workplace risks.
-
When direct measurement is limited, we leverage advanced mathematical modeling techniques to estimate airborne concentrations and dose scenarios. As authors of Mathematical Models for Estimating Occupational Exposure to Chemicals, our team applies validated, defensible assumptions for retrospective exposure reconstruction and predictive evaluations. These scientifically rigorous models provide essential insights for litigation support, regulatory reviews, and risk management.
-
Drawing on extensive background as former OSHA Compliance Officers, we help organizations navigate complex regulatory standards and enforcement processes. Our services include thorough site audits, hazard assessments, and written program development for specific hazards like silica, asbestos, and respiratory protection. We also assist clients during active OSHA inspections, citations, and abatement to minimize liability.
-
We investigate indoor air quality (IAQ) concerns across commercial, healthcare, and industrial facilities. By assessing HVAC performance, building materials, and contaminant sources, we pinpoint the root causes of odor, mold, and ventilation complaints. Our targeted evaluations deliver pragmatic solutions to restore indoor environmental quality and protect occupant health.
-
We provide industrial hygiene and Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) consulting for healthcare facilities, helping hospitals, clinics, and healthcare construction projects maintain safe environments for patients, staff, and contractors. Our services include ICRA compliance evaluations, moisture mapping, environmental assessments, and construction-related risk assessments.
-
We design and evaluate customized health and safety programs that align with regulatory mandates and industry best practices. Through comprehensive gap audits, we analyze existing policies to identify inefficiencies and legal liabilities. The result is a practical, enforceable program fully integrated into your daily operations.
-
We conduct structured, root-cause investigations following workplace incidents to evaluate environmental conditions, equipment, and work practices. Our methodical findings help organizations satisfy internal and external reporting requirements. We deliver actionable strategies designed to prevent recurrence and strengthen overall site safety.
-
Applying former enforcement perspectives, we analyze employer exposure under OSHA regulations, standards, and the General Duty Clause. We specialize in evaluating multi-employer worksite doctrines to clarify responsibility across contractors, site owners, and subcontractors. These defensible evaluations provide clear guidance in both regulatory enforcement actions and complex premises liability litigation.
-
We provide comprehensive evaluations to anticipate, recognize, evaluate, and control workplace hazards. Applying established methodologies, we assess chemical, biological, and physical stressors to deliver effective risk-reduction strategies. Our practical approach balances regulatory compliance with operational efficiency to ensure long-term employee safety.
