Great day yesterday to be up to catch a mega sunrise enroute to conduct IH testing at Donora River Terminal. Well worth the early rise. SGS always has us covered with testing equipment and media.

As you are compiling your OSHA 300 logs data and are unsure about a few cases before you finalize, contact us at [email protected] for a second opinion or consider having URS manage your logs to ensure consistent, compliant decisions that can help avoid unnecessary cost impacts.

As year-end logs get finalized, we often see well-intended “just in case” entries end up on the OSHA 300 Log, especially contusions and musculoskeletal complaints. The challenge is that over-recording can quietly raise your incident rate, and those numbers don’t just live on the log.

Want to know if your electrical panels or circuits are functioning as advertised?

We are now conducting Infrared (IR) testing for such items as electrical panels. This involves using a thermal imaging camera to detect temperature variations, revealing "hot spots" that indicate electrical faults, loose connections, or overloaded circuits.

Many insurance carriers are requiring this type of testing based upon the value of a location. Reach out and see how we can help reduce your premiums.
