The
overall goal of a Health and Safety Program is to prevent occupational injuries
through the recognition, evaluation, and control of hazards in the workplace.
The costs associated with occupational injuries and illnesses are much higher
than the limited attention devoted to their prevention.
The
Kings County Division of Environmental Health Services currently offers a wide
variety of occupational health and industrial hygiene services to both the public
and private sectors upon request. Our services range from indoor air quality evaluations
and environmental sampling to compliance audits and employee health and safety
training. All of our services in this program are consultative rather than enforcement
oriented.
