Workplace Accidents, Safety, & Health
To evaluate workplace safety, you need a thorough knowledge of the various state and federal occupational safety requirements along with the historical development of those requirements. Further, variations in the regulations and standards between construction, general industry, transportation, government, longshoring activities, and more, are important to understand—the way these regulations are applied can alter the analysis and ultimate opinions on the causation and prevention of accidents.
Our mechanical, civil, and biomedical engineers have educational and professional experiences that give us a unique understanding of workplace standards and how they apply to industrial practices. Our experts have trained with some of the original developers of the OSHA regulations and have published work more recently in the occupational safety arena. Through our technical knowledge and decades of experience, we have a history of providing insightful analyses and opinions that have been accepted by courts in occupational safety matters.
