Selecting the Ideal Partner: Respirable Silica Testing with RJ Lee Group

Written by Keith Rickabaugh | Jul 24, 2024 3:16:25 PM

Discover why RJ Lee Group is the ideal partner for accurate and reliable analysis.

The Importance of Testing

Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) sampling and laboratory analysis play a critical role in ensuring the safety of workers who may be exposed to airborne particulates. By accurately measuring the levels of RCS in the air, potential hazards can be identified and appropriate control measures can be implemented. Regular testing can help employers assess the effectiveness of their current safety protocols and make necessary adjustments to protect their employees.

Furthermore, compliance with regulatory standards and guidelines is essential for maintaining a safe work environment. Regulatory agencies, such as OSHA and MSHA, have set permissible exposure limits (PEL) and action levels for RCS. Conducting regular testing helps companies ensure compliance with these standards and avoid potential penalties and legal issues.

How RJ Lee Group Stands Out

RJ Lee Group goes above and beyond for our clients, with cutting-edge technology and experienced staff, to provide both routine and customized testing services with unmatched customer service. 

  • Analyzing Air Samples with Precision:  Utilizing state-of-the-art instrumentation and industry-approved methods such as X-ray Diffraction (NIOSH 7500) and FTIR (NIOSH 7603), we provide accurate and reliable results that empower you to make informed decisions.

  • Advanced Laboratory Capabilities: Equipped with a laboratory that can manage high sample volumes and redundant capabilities boasting four XRD instruments, we ensure seamless operations and rapid turnaround times without compromising on quality. Our modern instrumentation allows for precise analysis, guaranteeing dependable results.

  • Clean Technology Sample Preparation: Air sample preparations are conducted using our reliable and clean process utilizing oxygen plasma asher technology. This ensures the integrity of your samples.

  • Low reporting limits: Our process enables us to achieve low reporting limits for air samples by XRD that are equal to or less than 5 μg per sample.

  • Efficient Turnaround Time: We understand the urgency of compliance matters. That's why we offer a swift five-day turnaround time for air samples analyzed by XRD, allowing you to stay ahead of regulatory requirements without delays.

  • Comprehensive Consultation and Characterization: Beyond analysis, our experts provide invaluable consultation and support every step of the way. From evaluating analysis interferences to conducting full mineral ID characterization on bulk samples using XRD, we ensure thorough understanding and actionable insights.

RJ Lee Group has built a strong reputation for excellence and reliability in the field of respirable silica analysis, making us a trusted partner for companies across various industries. With over four decades of experience in analytical testing and consulting, we bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every project. Most importantly, we provide ongoing support to our clients, assisting with data interpretation, program evaluation, and continuous improvement initiatives.
