Industrial Hygiene Management

Did you know that the legislation in force requires the elimination of potential hazards to the health and safety of workers at the source? Implementing hygiene management measures helps in meeting your preventative objectives significantly, especially when it comes to contamination. To achieve this, we support employers with services such as screening, measuring, prevention, protection and monitoring against risks.

We can also help set up management procedures against thermal stress, radiations, hazardous products, lighting, noise, vapours, gas, asbestos, etc. The audit service is ideal for validating your compliance with norms as it evaluates the legal conformity and the level of protection necessary for your workers and your environment.

The processes established in your organization will be taken into account during the audit to offer you more personalized recommendations. Please note that we can also act as a reference in the development of such procedures. Our experts in industrial hygiene will assist you in your desired tasks, and whatever your preference, we remain at your disposal.

Equip your employees and be ready for a CNESST inspection! Help your organization effectively manage and control hazardous materials. Santinel offers you expert solutions for creating or updating a computerized database of all the products used in your environment. As the law requires such a list, you will achieve compliance while ensuring prevention in your business.

Our experts will produce a document that will include more or less information. Depending on your needs, the database can be limited to the product name, code, and name of the supplier, or it can be more substantial to include summary datasheets for quick and efficient use.

As with safety issues, there are a large number of standards and regulations in the field of industrial hygiene. Given the substantial amount of contaminants present in the workplace, it can sometimes become challenging to find a way around. Not to mention that disregarding these regulations can negatively impact the health of workers and lead to financial penalties.

To avoid these mishaps, employers must put together preventive methods and enforce law-abiding measures. Of course, Santinel can verify that you comply with the current legislation. Our services consist of identifying and assessing your organization’s level of conformity relative to the applicable standards, depending on your workers’ exposure to contaminants.

Thanks to detailed reports, you will know what actions to take to protect and prevent your workers from developing occupational-related diseases.
