Industrial Hygiene Consulting

Welcome to The Empirical Company

The Empirical Company is your partner in providing a healthy and safe workplace and this means going beyond just telling you what you need to do. Identifying potential risks and compliance needs is only the first step. If further prevention measures are needed, we work with employers find practical solutions to prevent occupational illnesses or injuries. Reports are complete, well organized and provide information to help employers understand issues and implement prevention plans. Our approach is professional and scientific but we strive to make complicated regulatory and health issues understandable to employees and management.

"Industrial Hygiene is that science and art devoted to the recognition, evaluation, and control of those environmental factors or stresses, arising in or from the work place, which may cause sickness, impaired health and well-being, or significant discomfort and inefficiency among workers or among the citizens of the community."
