Explore common workplace hazards, what they may require, and how TES support assessment, monitoring, and control decisions.
Heat stress can occur when employees perform physical work in hot environments, wear PPE that limits cooling, or have limited recovery time between work periods.
TES provides heat-exposure assessments, WBGT monitoring, work-rest evaluation, acclimatization support, and practical heat-stress program recommendations. Our field personnel evaluate actual working conditions so facilities can adjust protective measures as temperatures, workloads, and PPE requirements change.
Benzene, VOCs, and solvents can create inhalation risks during chemical handling, maintenance, cleaning, and process work.
TES provides personal air sampling, direct-reading monitoring, exposure interpretation, and practical control recommendations.
Welding and hot work can generate metal fumes and gases that vary by process, material, ventilation, and work location.
TES evaluates welding-fume exposure and helps determine whether ventilation, PPE, and work practices are adequate.
Silica exposure can occur when concrete, masonry, refractory, stone, or sand-containing materials are disturbed.
TES provides silica exposure monitoring, task assessments, and recommendations for dust control and respiratory protection.
Employees may receive significant noise exposure from equipment, tools, vehicles, and production activities over a work shift.
TES provides noise dosimetry, sound-level surveys, and hearing-conservation program support.
Lead and asbestos may be encountered when older coatings, insulation, fireproofing, or building materials are disturbed.
TES provides inspections, air monitoring, exposure evaluations, and technical support for lead- and asbestos-related work.
A ventilation system may be installed but still fail to capture dust, fumes, vapors, or heat effectively.
TES evaluates airflow, capture performance, and ventilation effectiveness under actual operating conditions.
Naturally occurring radioactive material may accumulate in equipment, piping, scale, sludge, or industrial residues.
TES performs NORM surveys, field screening, documentation, and technical support for maintenance and material-management decisions.
Repetition, force, awkward posture, lifting, and poor workstation design can contribute to fatigue and musculoskeletal strain.
TES evaluates job tasks and workstations and recommends practical improvements to reduce ergonomic stress.
