Manufacturing and Construction

Over the past two decades, Intertox has helped a wide range of material treatment facilities, production plants, trade associations and construction companies in the manufacturing and building trades to assess the chemical and biological impact of manufacturing and construction materials on human health. Our clients, which range from wood treatment facilities to thermoplastic extrusion plants, rely on our in-depth knowledge of the chemical components to reduce risk for employees involved in production and end users of manufactured products and the built environment.

We regularly perform site and facility assessments to proactively identify risks and then design safety protocols to help facilities comply with state, federal, and international standards and reduce risk for employees.

We also develop Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) programs that review the risks of chemicals already in use or are anticipated to be used in the future at manufacturing facilities and construction sites.

• Conducting exposure assessments for facility design and permitting including OSHA FDA, TSCA compliance, and due diligence audits
• Designing chemical safety programs to meet regulatory requirements
• Serving as an expert witness for workers’ compensation claims
• Developing Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) and restricted substances programs

• Conducted a toxicological exposure assessment for cutting fluids used by aircraft manufacturing employees.
• Designed and implemented a materials sampling program to identify risks and mitigate fungal exposure.
• Developed regulated chemicals management systems for manufacture and retail corporations.
• Performed occupational life cycle and safety assessment of carbon nanotubes in manufacturing.
• Assessed formaldehyde generation from manufactured wood products for compliance with CARB regulations.
