Exposure to hazardous materials can often be managed through engineering controls and use of personal protective equipment. However, a customized, user friendly management program can also help prevent and/or reduce worker exposure. Aura’s extensive experiences in program development, implementation and management can assist your company in becoming compliant to the applicable health and safety regulations, as well as reduce worker exposure.
