Occupational & Environmental Health

At BlueRidge Life Sciences (BRLS), our Occupational and Environmental Health experts help organizations anticipate, recognize, evaluate, and control environmental stressors that may pose health risks to workers or nearby communities. Our work also extends to assessing how the broader environment—including non-chemical stressors and cumulative exposures impact human health. We specialize in ensuring healthy conditions for occupational as well as indoor and outdoor environments.

We bring certified and experienced professionals for evaluating a wide range of workplace and community stressors, including chemical substances, biological agents, hazardous noise, thermal hazards, ionizing radiation, electromagnetic radiation, optical radiation such as lasers and ultraviolet light, and ergonomic hazards.

Whether dealing with regulatory compliance challenges, responding to an emerging health hazard, or unanticipated release, you need the experienced BRLS team of experts.
