Industrial Hygiene Management Software

Industrial hygienists need to identify, evaluate and control occupational exposures to chemical agents and other physical, biological or ergonomic hazards.  They need a way to assess potential risks, plan monitoring campaigns, interpret sample results and implement strategies to limit exposure. With limited time and resources, it is essential that a solution designed to address these tasks is organized around organizational workflow and easy to navigate.

Collect

• Identify locations of key operations, activities or work areas with the potential for exposure, as well as the different job tasks performed in those areas.
• Track engineering controls by location, installation date, status and effectiveness, and document which controls are in place during any monitoring event.
• Maintain an inventory of the personal protective equipment (PPE) and document the PPE worn by an employee during exposure monitoring sessions.
• Track employee job history to document the various positions held by an employee over his or her work lifetime their exposure to potential hazards.

Process

This solution provides a streamlined approach to storing information about chemical and non-chemical agents, sampling device calibration data, and exposure results. The module facilitates the following processes:

• Work characterizations
• Defining similar exposure groups and exposure profiles (time-weighted average calculations and mixed exposure calculations)
• Exposure assessments

Deliver

Produces outputs in formats such as:

• Sampling and monitoring results (by SEG, employee or task).
• User-defined priority rating calculations.
• Exposure assessment reports provide exposure profile details.
• Statistical analysis reporting (descriptive statistics, fit tests and plots, normal and lognormal parametric statistics.)  
• Exposure notification reports

Benefits & Features

	Benefits	Features
	Performs  workplace characterization	Tracks work areas and zones, employee jobs, processes, tasks, personal protective equipment and exposure controls.
	Tracks chemical and non-chemical agents	Provides preloaded physical and chemical property data for more than 1500 chemicals including those that pose the highest risk to workers.  Users can also maintain exposure limits and other regulatory information for chemical and non-chemical agents.
	Assures compliance with occupational health standards	The solution calculates time-weighted average concentrations for chemical agents allowing comparison to occupational exposure limits and regulatory standards.
	Assists in performing exposure assessments	Follows the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) strategy for occupational exposures, enabling industrial hygienists to implement a strategy based on organizational needs and to efficiently assess potential risks. The solution allows hygienists to define similar exposure groups (SEGs), define exposure profiles for each SEG and judge the acceptability of exposure profiles. Users can also track the calibration of testing equipment to ensure accurate sampling results.
	Reduces time and costs	Assists the hygienist in determining exposure decisions and priority ratings to facilitate sampling plan development.
	Enables sampling and  monitoring	Documents all circumstances related to a monitoring event including controls, PPE and exposure conditions. Manages sample results and calculates time-weighted averages/mixed exposures for chemical agents.
	Analyze and communicate results	The solution generates user-configurable exposure notification reports for communicating sampling results and analysis to employees. Statistical Analysis reporting is also available.
	Evaluates effectiveness of corporate industrial hygiene programs	Provides a streamlined approach to storing information about chemical and non-chemical agents, sampling device calibration data, and exposure results.
