Environmental and Occupational Health
Every community deserves safe air, water, soil, and food, just as every worker deserves a safe and healthy workplace. ERG’s public health scientists, epidemiologists, toxicologists, occupational safety and health professionals, and industrial hygienists have dedicated their careers to protecting and improving the health and well-being of our workers, vulnerable communities, and the population at large. ERG has helped government agencies to better understand how environmental and occupational exposures to chemical, physical, biological, and radiological hazards can affect people’s safety and health. Whether it be identifying the occupational hazards associated with exposure to heat, evaluating the impacts of contaminated drinking water on residents near hazardous waste sites, or educating workers on how to improve their physical well-being, our multidisciplinary team applies sound scientific principles and uses both established and innovative approaches to help solve problems. From in-depth research and data compilation to scientific assessment and policy and regulatory analyses, ERG’s environmental and occupational health support services promote sound risk management decisions and prevention strategies.
