Industrial Hygiene & Workplace Safety

You need to protect your people and your business. Real problems can’t be solved with a single data point and checking a box. Careful planning is necessary to solve these problems and make your organization stronger.

Good health and safety programs require thoughtful planning by experienced professionals to protect people and prevent accidents. MFA works closely with clients to focus on effective risk-reduction, not needless sampling data and paperwork.

Industrial hygiene (IH) services offered by MFA extend beyond simple air and noise monitoring to include IH strategy development, modeling, dermal exposure assessments, toxicological review, statistical analysis, and effective risk communication. MFA provides:
