Indoor Air Quality / Sick Building Investigations: Typical indoor air quality (IAQ) problems involve mold, mildew, inadequate ventilation, and poor building design. It is a major health issue in the United States. If a workplace or building has poor IAQ, employees come under illness, displaying a multitude of health symptoms including upper respiratory problems, headaches, fatigue, dry eyes, and chronic coughing. Forensic Analysis & Engineering's experts can help establish why your workforce is sick, investigate any hazards and offer remedial measures to prevent further harm to employees and minimize risk.

Code Compliance: Despite the emphasis on safety in a lot of workplaces, the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) issues over 40,000 citations in a typical year. Fortunately, Forensic Analysis & Engineering can evaluate various environments to determine if there are any hazards or unsafe practices that could ultimately harm employees and work flow, such as lack of fall protection or machine guarding. In order to prevent accidents, and minimize opportunities for human errors, Forensic Analysis & Engineering's experienced safety experts will establish why the hazard or unsafe practice exists, then review what procedures need updating in order to comply with the appropriate code and standards. As preventative measures are identified, products and systems will also be evaluated to lessen the risk of injury or loss.
