Industrial hygiene, occupational safety, training and EHS staffing
Vantage supports industrial and commercial employers across the Pacific Northwest and western states, and federal contractors at DOE sites and national laboratories across the country. We assess worker exposures, verify controls, prepare teams for inspections and provide training and site coverage when operations change or projects need extra support.
Contact Vantage to find solutions to your EHS projects, needs or challenges.
Services and when to call
Industrial Hygiene
Exposure assessment, personal sampling and evaluation of workplace controls.
- Outdated or missing exposure data. Collect representative samples and document results that can withstand review.
- Process changes or reported symptoms. Target monitoring to the tasks and workers most likely to be exposed.
- Silica, beryllium, welding fume, lead or noise. Verify that monitoring and controls cover the work.
- Respiratory protection gaps. Connect respirator selection, medical evaluations, fit testing and cartridge change schedules to the exposure assessment.
Occupational Safety
Safety program development, task hazard analysis and OSHA inspection readiness.
- Inspection, audit or customer review ahead. Check programs, records, open corrective actions and field conditions before the review.
- Procedures don’t match field practice. Observe the work and align written procedures, task planning and training with how crews perform it.
- High-hazard work planned. Verify controls for confined space entry, hazardous energy, falls, machinery and electrical work before crews start.
- Incident or open citation. Investigate contributing causes, document corrective actions and help prepare the response.
Staffing & On-Call
Remote CIH and CSP support, part-time site coverage and full-time staff augmentation.
- Contract requires a specific role. Match a CIH, CSP or EHS manager to contract and site requirements.
- EHS lead on leave or position vacant. Provide interim coverage.
- Project mobilizing. Staff remediation, construction or outage work.
- Technical support needed. Use Vantage On-Call for document reviews, program guidance and day-to-day decisions.
Training
Site-specific worker training, refresher courses and supervisor instruction.
- Training due or expired. Schedule respiratory protection, hazard communication, beryllium awareness, silica or hearing conservation training.
- Generic training misses the work. Tailor instruction to your tasks, materials and controls.
- New process, hazard or crew. Train workers on hazards and controls before work starts.
- Supervisor duties unclear. Clarify responsibilities for hazard recognition, exposure control and recordkeeping.

Industrial hygiene under 10 CFR 851 and 850 operates on a different footing than commercial practice
Vantage’s CIHs and CSPs help DOE contractors close exposure data gaps and verify controls at national laboratories and legacy cleanup sites. We support Worker Safety and Health Programs under 10 CFR Part 851 and Chronic Beryllium Disease Prevention Programs (CBDPPs) under 10 CFR Part 850. Services include baseline exposure assessments, DOE-VPP readiness reviews and oversight of decontamination and decommissioning (D&D). See staffing options for DOE and federal work →
