Industrial Hygiene Software

Industrial Hygiene Software Improves Compliance

Reduce Employee Exposures - Centralized employee exposure information allows you to view the big picture, perform risk assessments, and prioritize the implementation of exposure controls and preventive actions. Identify high-risk similar exposure groups and focus monitoring resources where they matter most.

Efficient Data Management - Replace scattered spreadsheets, paper logs, and disconnected files with a single cloud-based platform for all industrial hygiene data -- including quantitative sampling results, qualitative assessments, agent libraries, and occupational exposure limits.

Enhanced Reporting - Generate compliance reports, exposure summaries, and trend analyses with a few clicks. Real-time dashboards provide at-a-glance visibility into your IH program's status across facilities and exposure groups.

Risk Management - Proactively manage occupational health risks by trending exposure data, identifying upward patterns before they reach action levels or PELs, and documenting the hierarchy of controls applied to each hazard.

Improve OSHA Compliance - Easily demonstrate compliance with OSHA exposure monitoring requirements, substance-specific standards (silica, lead, benzene, noise, etc.), and the 30-year record retention mandate under 29 CFR 1910.1020.

Breeze Through Audits - Generate records and reports to demonstrate compliance with exposure assessment requirements and employee exposure limits. Maintain audit trails that document when samples were collected, analyzed, and reviewed.

Rapid Deployment - Customize your site's cloud-based industrial hygiene database in a matter of hours (versus weeks or months). Import existing sampling data from spreadsheets to get started quickly.

Cost Effective - Ecesis is more cost efficient and simpler to implement than you might think. Contact us to learn more!

Industrial Hygiene Database Software Features

Centralized Exposure Records - Efficiently maintain and access quantitative sampling results and qualitative exposure assessments in one centralized location. Store noise dosimetry, air monitoring, bulk samples, wipe samples, and biological monitoring data together.

Similar Exposure Groups (SEGs) - Define and manage similar exposure groups, assign workers, link sampling data, and track exposure profiles to prioritize monitoring efforts and allocate resources effectively.

Occupational Exposure Limit Libraries - Maintain OEL libraries from OSHA PELs, ACGIH TLVs, NIOSH RELs, and custom company limits. Compare sampling results against multiple limits simultaneously and flag exceedances automatically.

Obligations Management - Track applicable regulations so you know what sampling and monitoring requirements apply to your facilities and locations.

Task Management - Manage on-time and recurring exposure assessment tasks to ensure monitoring deadlines and associated action items are met. Receive automated reminders before tasks come due.

Data Trending and Analysis - Trend exposure data over time by agent, location, job classification, or SEG to identify risks before they occur so effective corrective actions may be taken proactively.

Mobile Data Collection - Collect field sampling data using our mobile EHS app with both online and offline capabilities. Data syncs automatically when connectivity is restored.

Document Management - Attach laboratory reports, calibration certificates, sampling protocols, and SOPs directly to sampling events and assessments. Maintain a complete audit trail with version history.

Hierarchy of Controls Tracking - Document and track the controls applied to each exposure hazard -- from elimination and substitution through engineering controls, administrative controls, and PPE -- following the NIOSH hierarchy of controls.

Dashboards and Reporting - Real-time dashboards display key IH metrics including upcoming monitoring tasks, exceedance rates, open corrective actions, and program completion status across all facilities.

Paperless Workflows - Eliminate paper forms, spreadsheets, and email chains. Cloud-based software ensures electronic records are readily available from any browser or mobile device.

Frequently Asked Questions About Industrial Hygiene Software

What Is Industrial Hygiene Software?

Industrial hygiene software is a digital platform that helps organizations manage occupational health data including exposure assessments, area and personal sampling results, occupational exposure limits (OELs), and risk prioritization. It centralizes IH data that would otherwise live in spreadsheets, paper files, and disconnected databases, making it easier to identify trends, demonstrate compliance, and protect worker health.

What Types of Exposure Data Can the Software Track?

The software tracks quantitative sampling results (noise dosimetry, air monitoring, bulk samples, wipe samples, biological monitoring), qualitative exposure assessments, similar exposure groups (SEGs), occupational exposure limits from OSHA PELs, ACGIH TLVs, and NIOSH RELs, as well as control measures and PPE assignments. Essentially any data an industrial hygienist would document during an exposure assessment.

Does Ecesis Support Mobile Data Collection and Field Sampling?

Yes, the Ecesis mobile app allows for online and offline data collection capabilities for collecting sampling data in the field. Data syncs automatically when connectivity is restored, eliminating the need to transcribe handwritten field notes back at the office.

How Does Industrial Hygiene Software Help with OSHA Compliance?

The software helps maintain records required by OSHA standards including 29 CFR 1910.1020 (Access to Employee Exposure and Medical Records), substance-specific standards for agents such as crystalline silica, lead, benzene, and noise, and the General Duty Clause. It generates reports demonstrating compliance with exposure monitoring requirements and tracks corrective actions when exceedances are identified.

Can the Software Perform Exposure Trend Analysis?

Yes, trending capabilities allow you to analyze exposure data over time by agent, location, job classification, or similar exposure group. Statistical tools help identify upward trends before exposures reach action levels or permissible exposure limits, enabling proactive intervention rather than reactive response.

What Is a Similar Exposure Group (SEG) and How Does the Software Support Them?

A Similar Exposure Group is a collection of workers who share similar exposure profiles due to the nature of their work tasks, materials used, and work environment. The software allows you to define SEGs, assign workers, link sampling data, and assess whether the group's exposure is acceptable. This approach, recommended by AIHA, helps prioritize monitoring resources efficiently.

How Long Must Exposure Records Be Retained?

Under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1020, employee exposure records must be retained for at least 30 years. Many substance-specific standards have their own retention requirements that may differ. The software provides secure, long-term archival with version history and audit trails to satisfy these requirements without the burden of maintaining decades of paper files.

How Does the Software Handle Multiple Occupational Exposure Limits?

The software maintains libraries of OELs from multiple sources including OSHA PELs, ACGIH TLVs, NIOSH RELs, and company-specific limits. When evaluating sampling results, you can compare against any or all applicable limits simultaneously. The system automatically flags exceedances and near-misses based on your configured thresholds.

Can the Software Integrate with Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS)?

Ecesis supports data import from laboratory reports and can be configured to receive results from LIMS providers. This reduces manual data entry and transcription errors when processing analytical results from sampling events.
