Who could be at risk?
Doctors, nurses, factory workers, construction workers, office workers, and almost all other professionals are at risk for developing an occupational disease.

An occupational exposure limit is an upper limit on the acceptable concentration of a hazardous substance in workplace air for a particular material or class of materials. It is typically set by competent national authorities and enforced by legislation to protect occupational safety and health. It can be a tool in risk assessment and in the management of activities involving handling of dangerous substances.

Types of Occupational Exposure
Some of the types of occupational diseases our firm handles have been the result of incidents such as:
• Toxic mold exposure
• Diesel exposure
• Other chemical exposure
• Latex allergy
• Industrial accidents
• And many more

The Threshold Limit Value (TLV) of a chemical substance is a level to which it is believed a worker can be exposed day after day for a working lifetime without adverse health effects. Strictly speaking, TLV is a reserved term of the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). It is however sometimes loosely used to refer to other similar concepts used in occupational health and toxicology. TLVs (along with biological exposure indices or BEIs) are published annually by the ACGIH.
The TLV is an estimate based on the known toxicity in humans or animals of a given chemical substance and the reliability & accuracy of the latest sampling and analytical methods. It is not a static definition since new research can often modify the risk assessment of substances and new laboratory or instrumental analysis methods can improve analytical detection limits.

Dangerous goods, also called hazardous materials ("HazMats"), are solids, liquids, or gases that can harm people, other living organisms, property, or the environment. They are often subject to chemical regulations. Dangerous goods include materials that are radioactive, flammable, explosive or corrosive, oxidizers or asphyxiants, biohazardous, toxic, pathogen or allergen substances and organisms, but also physical conditions as compressed gases and liquids or hot materials, including all goods containing such materials or chemicals, or may have other characteristics that render it hazardous in specific circumstances.
