Occupational Hazards

SWAPE has worked on many cases evaluating occupational exposure to toxic and harmful substances that has resulted in an unnecessary health risk and harm to individual workers. Frequently workers are not provided with adequate protective equipment or OSHA regulations often fall short when it comes to protecting worker health. As a result, workers have endured excessive exposure to these harmful substances that results in unnecessary injury.

SWAPE evaluates material data safety sheets, government publications, and peer reviewed literature to reconstruct worker exposure under of variety of scenarios, such as working in an enclosed space, construction site, or industrial facility. Some of the chemicals that we have analyzed worker exposure to include particulate matter, silica, asbestos, solvents, phosgene, slop oil, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, PCBs, and acids or caustics.
