Your Partner in Philadelphia for Industrial Hygiene Services
Summit supports Philadelphia employers with industrial hygiene consulting that connects field conditions, sampling data, and practical workplace controls. We help organizations understand whether employee exposures may require additional evaluation, engineering controls, administrative changes, PPE review, or program updates.
Philadelphia workplaces often combine healthcare, research, logistics, and older commercial or industrial building stock, which can make exposure sources varied and documentation needs more complex. Our team works with organizations across Philadelphia, the Delaware Valley, and the I-95 corridor to build assessment plans that fit the facility, workforce, and decision at hand.
Our Warranty
If an OSHA inspection identifies a gap or issue related to the exposures we assessed, we’ll provide corrective documentation, technical justification, or re-evaluation at no additional cost.
Our Most Common Client Services
Exposure Assessments for Chemicals
Exposure Assessments for Noise

Exposure Assessment & Monitoring in Philadelphia
Summit provides exposure assessment and monitoring services to help employers identify and measure workplace hazards. Depending on the concern, an assessment may include personal sampling, area sampling, direct-reading instruments, noise dosimetry, ventilation review, indoor air quality evaluation, or review of work practices and chemical use.
For Philadelphia facilities, exposure concerns may involve laboratory chemical use, process dust, cleaning and disinfection chemicals, noise from production and facility equipment, and indoor air quality concerns in older buildings. Summit helps determine what should be sampled, when sampling should occur, and how the results should be interpreted for compliance and risk-reduction decisions.
Common examples of our monitoring services include:

Hazard Recognition & Risk Evaluation in Philadelphia
Industrial hygiene begins with understanding the work. Summit evaluates tasks, materials, equipment, facility conditions, employee concerns, and available documentation to identify hazards that may require sampling or control. This may include review of chemical use, dust-generating work, noise sources, ventilation conditions, heat stress potential, or moisture and IAQ concerns.
By connecting observations with exposure data, Summit helps Philadelphia organizations prioritize controls and avoid spending time on issues that do not match the actual risk profile.
Control Strategies & Mitigation in Philadelphia
After hazards are identified and evaluated, Summit provides practical recommendations for controlling exposures. Controls may include ventilation improvements, process changes, enclosure or isolation, housekeeping changes, PPE review, hearing conservation support, respiratory protection program input, or employee communication and training recommendations.
Our goal is to help Philadelphia employers select controls that are technically sound, feasible for operations, and documented clearly enough for follow-through.
Training & Program Development in Philadelphia, the Delaware Valley, and the I-95 corridor
Summit can help develop or improve industrial hygiene-related programs for Philadelphia organizations, including exposure monitoring plans, hearing conservation support, respiratory protection documentation, hazard communication support, and procedures for recurring facility concerns.
Training and program support should reflect the actual hazards employees encounter. Summit helps translate technical findings into clear information that supervisors and workers can use.
