Proactive Indoor Air Quality

1Source Safety and Health, Inc. was selected by a school district to conduct a district wide proactive indoor air quality sampling program in 25 buildings. The district views this sampling program as a sound approach to reduce and or eliminate the potential for the development of indoor air quality issues during the school year. This is the second time that the project was awarded to 1Source Safety and Health, Inc. The project focus is to provide an in-depth review of the air quality within the buildings and to review the ventilation systems. This year there is an increased focus on microbiological concerns due to the potential health effects associated with various microbiological organisms.

Many organizations are finding that managed outsourcing of safety and health professionals is a better option then hiring their own staff. 1Source Safety and Health, Inc. provides several clients with full-time safety professionals supported by our internal staff of CIH's, CSP, CPE, and CPEA's. In addition to assuming the role as the safety and health management team, 1Source Safety and Health can make various guaranteed savings depending on the program a client selects.

One such client that is taking advantage of our managed outsourcing services is an acute care hospital in northern New Jersey. 1Source Safety and Health provides complete OSHA, JCAHO and other safety and health regulatory compliance programs for this major hospital. Colin J. Brigham, CIH, CSP, CPE, CPEA provide technical management of the onsite staff.

Construction Safety Management

1Source Safety and Health, Inc. was selected to provide Construction Safety Management during the construction of a municipal sewage treatment facility and the associated collection system. This year long project requires continued contact with the multiple subcontractors on the project to review planned activities and evaluate potential safety and health issues. Construction activities included trenching, major site excavation, tunneling, and all the trades associated with constructing a pipeline and facility.

Colin J. Brigham, CIH, CSP, CPE, CPEA is currently working with a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility to provide technical and management assistance to support their effort in becoming an OSHA VPP site. The initial steps of the project included a detailed audit of safety and health related documentation from the past three years, policies, programs, and other historical data. The next step is to provide a detailed report that outlines what if there are any areas that fall outside of the qualification criteria established by OSHA. If there are, 1Source Safety and Health, Inc. will provide assistance to develop the needed programs.

Ergonomics Program Development

Following is a link (http://www.ergoworkinggroup.org/ewgweb/IndexFrames/index3.htm) to a website that includes a program for detailed ergonomic assessments performed by some of our staff. Colin J.Brigham, Certified Professional Ergonomist (CPE), was a project manager involved in the development of ergonomic risk assessment methodologies that were then applied by teams under his technical direction at 21 Air Force bases. In the completion of the base visits by a field staff of 8 individuals, over 2000 processes and 5000 tasks were analyzed. Risk ranking was performed, quick fixes and control approaches were also provided to these bases.
