As part of Tacora’s Health, Safety, and Environment program, industrial hygiene plays a crucial role in protecting employee health and well-being. Workplace hazards, including physical, chemical, ergonomic, and biological agents, can lead to acute injuries and long-term chronic effects if not addressed. Tacora focuses on proactively identifying, monitoring, and reducing these exposures to minimize risks and prevent occupational diseases.
The company’s industrial hygiene programs assess potential risks specific to operational areas and work groups, using the hierarchy of controls to mitigate exposures effectively. Comprehensive procedures and monitoring systems have been implemented to manage and control these hazards, ensuring a safer workplace for all employees. These efforts highlight Tacora’s commitment to prioritizing health and safety in all aspects of its operations.
A robust sampling program ensures employees and contractors are not being exposed to industrial hygiene hazards on site.
