CIH, FAIHA
Janet is our industrial hygienist and technical geek. She is also our primary trainer. If you have a question about some obscure chemical, a strange OSHA standard or some novel safety and health issue, she would love to research it for you. She does a lot of the program development. Janet and Mark also keep CHESS staff supplied with duck eggs from their farm.
