The Role of Human Factors in Process and Occupational Safety

How does Exponent's multidisciplinary approach help clients effectively identify health risks?

Our multidisciplinary teams assist clients in identifying risks and improving occupational safety conditions throughout all aspects of their operations. By understanding the health risks associated with certain chemicals, physical properties, or environmental factors, our clients can make informed decisions to improve employee health and prevent future harm to consumers and the environment.

Exponent's multidisciplinary team of epidemiologists, health science professionals, certified industrial hygienists, and data scientists are highly experienced in performing health risk assessments and developing predictive risk models for every type of industry.

Our work has been used to shape environmental policy, establish baselines for regulatory and compliance standards, and provide science-backed insights for litigation support.

Capabilities & Services

Exponent multidisciplinary teams have the following capabilities:

With a dramatic increase in the development of wearable devices and smart wear, there is an increased likelihood of dermal sensitivity due to irritating or sensitizing chemicals transferred from the product to the user's skin. Exponent scientists lead the consulting industry in conducting prerelease testing and risk assessment of wearable products and identifying chemicals and materials in products responsible for consumer dermal reactions.
When toxicity issues arise, Exponent scientists conduct a broad range of dose-response analyses and modeling to support critical decisions. We provide analyses of complex data in epidemiology and toxicology, conduct site-specific modeling, evaluate regulatory limits, assist with product registration, and perform risk and safety assessments.
Exponent's tremendous depth and diversity of expertise enables us to assemble teams with specific multidisciplinary expertise to rapidly evaluate and communicate about risk among different audiences. We use a variety of strategies to provide reliable scientific information regarding real and perceived public concerns about health and environmental issues.
Vapor Intrusion continues to be an emerging science as investigation, data analysis, mitigation evaluation techniques, and regulatory guidance continue to evolve. Exponent conducts vapor intrusion risk assessments spanning a range of evaluations of varying complexity.
- On-site health evaluations of known exposures
- Evaluation of contaminated sites
- Emissions testing and evaluations
- Risk predictions and statistical analysis
- Evaluation of occupational workspaces and job sites
- Capable of conducting risk estimation for default regulatory highly exposed individuals or estimating risk across the full distribution of an exposed population
- Consumer product chemical evaluations
