Occupational Health & Safety
Understanding human health risks
Our consulting Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) practice focuses on evaluating chemical, biological, and physical hazards in the workplace and extends to diverse sectors including energy, food and beverage, life sciences, commercial, traditional manufacturing, entertainment, advanced manufacturing, and innovation industries.
If you need to better understand the potential human health risks posed by industrial health hazards, contaminated sites, consumer products, and food additives, our scientists can help—they’ve conducted hundreds of occupational health and safety (OHS) assessments.
With a team of over 70 professionals based throughout the US, our OHS professionals can provide expertise in industrial hygiene, toxicology, epidemiology, microbiology, statistical analysis, and risk assessment. We have multiple certified industrial hygienists, diplomates of the American Board of Toxicology, certified safety professionals, and certified hazardous materials managers. In addition, our ChemRisk team works with over 100 OHS Stantec professionals located across the world.
Let us help you with your technical advisory needs, whether you’re evaluating a workplace or reviewing community health and safety risks.
