Service Introductions
Chemical Risk Assessments
The wide use of chemicals in many settings such as manufacturing, facilities management, and
construction poses environmental health and safety challenges requiring special expertise. Several
OSHA, EPA, and DOT regulations require the evaluation of risks associated with chemicals and
specify controls during use, storage, and transportation. It is challenging for companies to fulfill
their obligation to communicate hazards to employees, customers, and the community because the
knowledge of health effects associated with chemical exposures is continuously evolving.
Health and Safety Auditing
A key element of a successful health and safety program, one that reduces accidents, improves
productivity, and saves money, is the practice of regularly auditing program elements, including
facilities, employee training, and program organization. Colden Certified Safety Professionals have
assisted hundreds of clients with their program evaluation needs in industrial, non-industrial, and
institutional settings.
Training
Safety training is an essential regulatory and ethical part of an overall health and safety compliance
program. Colden Certified Safety Training Specialists (NASP-CSTS) create best-in-practice standard
training programs, as well as customized site specific programs. We identify current needs and
create a training program using state-of-the-art training media and interactive programs to suit your
individual needs.
