Industrial Hygiene Services
Protecting Worker Health
Through Scientific Assessment
Sheffield Safety provides industrial hygiene services and hazard control through air, water, and surface testing. Our certified professionals use advanced, calibrated equipment to identify chemical, physical, biological, and ergonomic risks across manufacturing, laboratories, and construction environments — then recommend practical controls that protect your team and keep you compliant.
Measuring Air Quality
to Protect Your Workforce
Our exposure assessments determine how airborne contaminants affect employee health. We test for dust, silica, welding fumes, chemical vapors, mold, and other airborne hazards using calibrated, OSHA-compliant methods. Every sample is analyzed by accredited laboratories, and you receive clear, easy-to-understand results that tell you exactly where risks exist and what to do about them.
- Quarterly compliance sampling programs
- Silica exposure monitoring under the OSHA standard
- Investigation of employee air-quality complaints
- Accredited-lab analysis with actionable findings

Frequently Asked Questions
What are industrial hygiene services?
Industrial hygiene services measure the workplace health hazards you cannot see, like airborne dust, chemical vapors, noise, and heat. A certified industrial hygienist samples your environment, compares the results to OSHA limits, and recommends controls. Sheffield Safety delivers a documented exposure report after every assessment.
When do we need an industrial hygiene assessment?
Schedule one when employees work around dust, fumes, solvents, or loud equipment, after a health complaint, or when OSHA requires exposure monitoring for a substance like silica. New processes and new materials are also good triggers.
What is the difference between industrial hygiene and a safety audit?
A safety audit looks at physical hazards you can see, like machine guarding and fall protection. Industrial hygiene measures health hazards you cannot see, like air contaminants and noise. Many sites need both, and we can run them together.
Do you serve Illinois and Texas?
Yes. Our industrial hygienists work from offices in Plainfield, Illinois and Houston, Texas and support employers across 10+ states.
