Chemical Sampling and Exposure Assessments

In Calgary and Southern Alberta

Accurate Monitoring for Workplace Chemical Hazards and Alberta OHS Compliance

Chemical exposure is one of the most common—and often underestimated—occupational health risks. Whether through vapours, gases, mists, or particulates, airborne chemicals can affect worker health, comfort, and long‑term safety. Doctor IAQ Inc. provides professional chemical sampling and exposure assessments to help employers identify hazards, evaluate worker exposure, and implement effective control strategies.

With more than 30 years of industrial hygiene experience, we deliver accurate, defensible data and clear, actionable recommendations for compliance and worker protection.

Why Chemical Sampling Matters

Exposure to hazardous chemicals can lead to acute and chronic health effects, including:

  • Respiratory irritation or damage
  • Skin and eye irritation
  • Neurological effects
  • Organ toxicity
  • Long‑term occupational disease

Doctor IAQ Inc. helps employers meet Alberta Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Code requirements by identifying exposure risks and confirming whether controls are effective.
