TRC Expert Services 
Each facility faces particular hazards and processes that require different assessments, so the process varies. However, in general, you can expect our teams to identify potential hazards through methods like asking questions and considering existing operations. Once we identify potential hazards, our teams can assess their levels and recommend control measures that suit the exposure levels and your processes.
Overcoming Safety Challenges to Create a Resilient Workforce
TRC safeguards the work environment to protect your business.
The costs associated with workplace injuries and illnesses can negatively impact a company’s goals. The burden of workers’ compensation claims, including lost productivity, retraining and accommodation for injured employees, can eat away at the bottom line. Lack of attention to industrial hygiene can also impact worker morale, corporate image and community relations.
TRC’s industrial hygienists understand the regulations that affect your industry. We help our clients attain their risk management, cost containment, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) compliance goals.
Our industrial hygienists work closely with our ventilation system engineers to improve in-plant air quality for employees by providing customized, cost-effective engineered solutions to control industrial air emissions.
