Assistance with NIOSH Health Hazard Evaluation of manufacturing workplace illnesses

Assisted an international industrial chemical manufacturer to support its machine manufacturing customer during a Health Hazard Evaluation undertaken by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) for an alleged cluster of workplace illnesses. We engaged leading technical experts and developed and issued a robust series of legal and technical rebuttals to preliminary NIOSH findings/conclusions. Ultimately, NIOSH conceded that it could not demonstrate a causal connection between the reported health concerns and exposure to our client’s product.
