Examples of our human health risk assessment activities include:
C&IH practices state-of-the-art scientific methodologies
to evaluate the nature and extent of an exposure, including:
The specific methodology applied for an exposure assessment is determined based on your
organization’s objectives, the nature of the exposure, and other project variables that C&IH
helps our clients navigate. When practical, a combination of methodologies can be applied for
greater certainty.
Our board-certified toxicologists research dose-response relationships for inhalation, ingestion, and dermal exposure pathways for a wide range of common and uncommon particles in support of risk assessments for past, present, and future exposures.
Communicating the magnitude of this risk to your organization’s key decision makers and presenting an analysis of different risk-reduction strategies is a fundamental deliverable for C&IH’s industrial hygiene services.
Factors to consider include the costs and benefits of alternative strategies, including their overall effectiveness of improving employee health and the work environment; feasibility of implementing a strategy, potentially related to limitations with technology infrastructure or corporate culture; effective processes for
communication with employees; and post-implementation evaluation to measure the
effectiveness of the selected risk management strategy.
