Safety & Loss Control
What is Safety & Loss Control?
Safety & Loss Control (SLC) is a team of safety and industrial hygiene professionals organized within the Risk Management Division (RMD). SLC provides independent safety and industrial hygiene consultative resources to all state agencies. Our purpose is to help state agencies identify and correct workplace safety hazards—both environmental and behavioral—which place employees at risk for work related injury or illness. The goal of our program is to help each agency we serve increase productivity, reduce expenses and lower taxpayer burden by creating a safer and healthier work environment for their employees.
What services are available through SLC?
The following services available through SLC.
Worker Exposure Assessments – SLC is equipped to provide exposure assessments for a variety of air contaminants such as dusts, fumes, gases and vapors that may be encountered in the workplace. In addition to sampling for air contaminants, we can provide personal noise monitoring. Please contact us for more information regarding your specific needs.
Indoor Air Quality Evaluations – SLC is available to conduct indoor air quality assessments in state owned or leased buildings. An indoor environmental quality survey may consist of visual observations of the space and air handling systems, conversations with affected employees and monitoring of general air quality parameters or specific substances based on the particular situation. The safety and loss control unit is also available to provide moisture surveys including the use of infrared thermography for potential water intrusion and mold testing when needed.
Program Development and Implementation - SLC can assist agencies with the development and implementation of safety and loss control programs, such as AWAIR, Bloodborne Pathogen, Confined Space, Emergency Preparedness, Ergonomics, Hearing Conservation, Lockout/Tagout, Personal Protective Equipment and Right to Know. In addition, we can assist in identifying the training requirements applicable to the various programs and other OSHA standards.
If you have a need not identified, please contact us for further information.
How are the services paid for?
Services provided by SLC are funded through the administrative fees paid by each agency to the State Workers' Compensation Program. Agency specific laboratory testing and special equipment needs in conjunction with consulting services are the responsibility of each individual agency. Costs associated with laboratory services and special equipment can be estimated prior to sampling.
