The Role of Human Factors in Process and Occupational Safety

How can you be certain that your worksite aligns with the latest compliance and safety standards?

Exponent's multidisciplinary teams of safety and compliance experts, industrial hygiene experts, human factors experts, and medical and environmental staff work collaboratively to provide analyses of workplaces and other sites per the most up-to-date government and industry regulations and compliance standards.

However, we don't just evaluate safety to the standard, but often go beyond, looking for vulnerabilities and issues that may create risk particular to your workplace setting.

Exponent industrial hygienists conduct site assessments to evaluate exposures to chemical, biological, and physical hazards in air, water, food, and on environmental surfaces. Exponent's practitioners are skilled in conducting microbial investigations, assessing microbial risk, and evaluating occupational health and wellness.

We also have extensive clinical and research experience in veterinary medicine, bringing in-depth experience with One Health and applying it to projects on a routine basis. Our experts can be rapidly deployed for emergency response globally and have laboratories in the U.S., U.K., and Asia.
