Through Ungers & Associates' experience and knowledge of scientifically sound testing procedures and methods, we assist our clients in the identification of product-related hazards:
- Hazard identification
- Measurement of chemical releases and emissions
- Exposure characterization
- Risk analysis
Once a new hazard and its associated risk have been properly identified and objectively quantified, Ungers & Associates assists its clients with the proper management and stewardship of the product:
- Risk assessment
- Risk reduction and engineered improvements
- Risk communication and stewardship programs
- Regulatory compliance (MSDS and labeling)
Finally, the knowledge gained during the aforementioned efforts can be used to test the product prior to introduction:
- Laboratory testing
- Testing of formulations or equipment proto-types in the field
- Workplace simulations
- Mathematical algorithm and computer-assisted modeling
Ungers & Associates' experience in these areas have included basic research, proactive studies of new products coming to market, and post-accident or post-exposure investigations of existing products.
The results of Ungers & Associates' testing and risk assessments are frequently published in scientific journals and often become the seminal studies upon which both customers and competitors compare the safety and efficacy of their products.
