GAITHERSBURG, Md., Aug. 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Advanced Technologies and Laboratories International, Inc. (ATL), a leading government services consulting firm specializing in occupational and environmental safety and health, announced it has won a new task order under the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Blanket Purchase Agreement for Science and Technical Support Services to update and improve the Emergency Response Safety and Health Database (ERSH-DB) to better serve the needs of stakeholders.
The ERSH-DB is a publicly accessible occupational safety and health database developed by NIOSH for the emergency response community. The ERSH-DB addresses the safety and health information needs of a wide range of emergency response personnel including the fields of fire and rescue, emergency medicine, law enforcement, emergency management, public health, safety and health, and mortuary and funeral.
Under the task order, ATL will support the review, correction, and updating of technical information for chemicals which are currently publicly available for users of the ERSH-DB, as well as for additional chemicals that are not currently approved or made publicly accessible. As a central source of information, the ERSH-DB contains accurate and concise information on high-priority chemical, biological and radiological agents that could be encountered by emergency response personnel responding to a terrorist event.
“ATL is excited for this opportunity to support NIOSH by leveraging our expertise in industrial hygiene, toxicology, and research to better fulfill the needs of occupational safety and health professionals and the emergency response community,” said CEO Steven Crespy. “We look forward to continuing to provide best-in-class services and excellent results that will help advance the mission of this important client and the citizens it serves.”
