About | Services | Staff | Location | Overview | Newsletters UW-Madison The Wisconsin Occupational Health Laboratory(WOHL) is a part of the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene and the University of Wisconsin. It has been actively involved in industrial hygiene chemical analysis since the mid - 1930's. WOHL currently occupies 12,000 square feet in the 54,000 square foot Environmental Health Laboratory that was completed in 1999. This facility was specifically designed as a state of the art Environmental and Industrial Hygiene laboratory. WOHL is focused almost completely on Industrial Hygiene, IAQ and Environmental microbiology analysis. The laboratory can analyze for VOC’s, Pesticides, particulates, metals, asbestos, isocyanates, crystalline silica, PAH’s, PCB’s, amines, aldehydes, diesel exhaust particulates, environmental lead, molds, bacteria, particulate characterization and sizing and many other organic and inorganic compounds. Most testing is done for airborne contamination, but analysis for surface wipes and bulk samples is also available where appropriate. The laboratory maintains a complete array of state of the art analytical instrumentation. The laboratory staff includes a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) and 30 degreed chemists, geologists, and microbiologists. They have more than 600 years of combined industrial hygiene laboratory experience. The laboratory is accredited through the American Industrial Hygiene Association (Lab #101070) for all aspects of industrial hygiene analysis, for Environmental Lead Analyses on all matrices and for Environmental Microbiology. WOHL has participated in and been proficient in the NIOSH PAT Program since the mid 1970's. WOHL also participates in round robin proficiency programs coordinated by the OSHA Salt Lake City Technical Center and the British WASP program. WOHL has a very rigorous internal Quality Assurance Program led by a full time Quality Assurance Coordinator and a Documents Control Officer. More than 10% of all samples analyzed are quality control samples. This is in addition to calibration verification samples, desorption samples and a wide variety of round-robin proficiency samples. The Wisconsin Occupational Health Laboratory is committed to providing high quality analytical results accompanied by an unsurpassed level of personalized customer service. All of our management and analytical staff are available to our clients for consultation on sampling strategy, result interpretation or other technical questions.
