Capital Safety Services recently conducted industrial hygiene monitoring during the Capital Safety Services provides air sampling the month of April for various clients in Upstate New York. The purpose of the assessment was to quantify either lead, respirable silica dust, and/or total dust concentrations for employees working in an area with suspected air contaminants.

Capital Safety Services worked with clients to identify different job tasks that required sampling and then created a custom plan. Our professional staff worked seamlessly with clients in areas of construction, maritime and general industry to help them understand sampling techniques, sampling equipment and sampling targets.

Following the laboratory results, Capital Safety Services will provide professional recommendations to their clients, including:

• Engineering controls such as ventilation, or wet methods;
• Administrative controls such as policies/procedures and work shift controls, and;
• Personal Protective Equipment, such as respiratory protection, which includes the recommended protection factor and respirator types required.
