​

Walkthrough Survey

A walkthrough survey is a preliminary assessment designed to identify potential hazards and exposures in the workplace. This involves:
  • Observing workplace processes and environments.
  • Interviewing workers and management.
  • Reviewing documentation to identify areas requiring further investigation.
The goal is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the workplace and its potential risks, ensuring compliance with occupational health and safety regulations.

Worker Exposure Assessment

A worker exposure assessment provides a detailed evaluation of workplace conditions to determine the types and levels of exposures workers may face. This includes:
  • Collecting air samples, dust samples, and noise level data.
  • Analyzing work practices and procedures.
  • Evaluating exposure to hazardous substances such as respirable crystalline silica, welding fumes, BTEX compounds, and isocyanates.
The results are used to develop and implement effective control measures, ensuring worker safety and regulatory compliance.
