What's Included
This service provides targeted monitoring and prevention strategies for zinc fume hazards:

Accurate collection and analysis of airborne zinc oxide levels during typical operations.

Results compared against OSHA permissible exposure limits (PELs).

Practical solutions including ventilation improvements, local exhaust systems, and PPE use.

OSHA-aligned documentation tailored to your operations.

Guidance to help employees recognize symptoms of metal fume fever and follow safe practices.

WHO IS THIS SERVICE FOR
This service is designed for industries where zinc-coated metals are welded, cut, or heated, including automotive repair, metal fabrication, construction, and manufacturing facilities. If your employees are exposed to zinc fumes, our monitoring ensures risks are identified and controlled to safeguard health and compliance.

WHY IT MATTERS
Exposure to zinc oxide fumes can cause acute illness and long-term respiratory concerns. OSHA enforces strict exposure limits, and failure to monitor and control zinc exposure can lead to regulatory citations, employee health complaints, and costly claims. By monitoring and controlling exposures, you protect your workforce, maintain compliance, and avoid unnecessary operational disruptions.

We review your operations and identify where zinc fume exposure is most likely.
Air samples are collected during regular welding or cutting activities to capture real exposure levels.
You receive a clear report with exposure data compared against OSHA standards.
We provide prioritized recommendations and written programs to reduce risks and ensure compliance.
