ChemRisk, LLC ( www.chemrisk.com) and Environmental & Occupational Risk Management, Inc (EORM; www.eorm.com) are pleased to announce the formation of a strategic business alliance that will bring together two leading consulting firms. This new business alliance will combine ChemRisk’s expert toxicology consulting services with EORM leading EHS and sustainability consulting services to customize better solutions for clients of both firms.

ChemRisk is a scientific consulting firm that specializes in using risk assessment methods to characterize and provide improved understanding of complex exposures involving chemicals, pharmaceuticals, or radionuclides in a variety of potentially contaminated media. ChemRisk scientists are experienced in addressing health and safety concerns, and have backgrounds in toxicology, industrial hygiene, epidemiology, ecotoxicology, environmental sciences, medicine, statistical analysis, and risk assessment.

ChemRisk scientists have a long-standing reputation for thorough scientific analysis, which they share in respected, peer-reviewed scientific literature in order to provide a high level of transparency and scientific integrity for their clients. The collaboration with EORM allows ChemRisk to provide its clients with global environmental, health, safety, and sustainability (EHS&S) consulting support.

EORM provides environmental, health, safety, and sustainability (EHS&S) technical and management consulting services to a broad range of industries. EORM helps its clients derive business advantage by offering many services including industrial hygiene consulting, safety consulting, environmental consulting, and sustainability consulting. The service model is a combination of outsourcing and project consulting.

EORM is a leader in integrating EHS&S management into business operations to benefit and strengthen a company’s business strategy and corporate culture, and by forming this business alliance, EORM is now able to provide state-of-the-art toxicology, epidemiology, risk assessment, and REACH services to over 400 global customers. “We are excited to be able to bring such a deep bench of toxicology talent to better serve our customer needs,” says Glenn Fishler, EORM President and CEO.

Together, ChemRisk and EORM will be able to anticipate, evaluate, and dramatically reduce liability associated with today’s business climate. The combined services will allow companies to develop robust health, safety, and environmental programs, as well as leverage combined expertise and familiarity with such systems in order to effectively respond to any regulatory or legal issues.

“We are pleased to announce our alliance with EORM. Through this partnership, we are proud to offer our clients the skills and knowledge they need to become proactive in EHS&S, thereby reducing current and future liability,” says Dennis Paustenbach, President of San Francisco-based ChemRisk.
