Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety
Project example: An industrial hygiene exposure assessment of respirable crystalline silica and welding fumes at a California manufacturing facility combined personal air monitoring with direct reading instrumentation to identify high dust and fume generation tasks, evaluate respiratory protection, and recommend improvements to the local exhaust ventilation system.
Wildfire and Structure Fire Impact Assessments
Project example: Wildfire smoke residue impact assessments for insurance claims at residential, commercial, and hotel properties after the Chimney Tops 2 Fire in the Great Smoky Mountains. Conducted site inspections, surface sampling, impact assessments, and expert witness testimony.
