Workplace exposure assessments involve determining which chemical or biological hazards exist within the workplace and then sampling to determine if levels are within tolerances established by ACGIH, as required by the Manitoba Workplace Safety and Health Act (Part 36). Consulting services would include an evaluation of the workplace, determination of applicable chemical substances to be analyzed, collection of the samples and interpretation of the results.

Samples are collected according to NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) or other applicable standards and are analyzed by laboratories accredited by AIHA (American Industrial Hygiene Association), CALA (Canadian Association for Laboratory Accreditation) or other applicable agency.

MWI Consultants

We offer a wide variety of services related to workplace exposure assessments, including the following services:

• Welding exposure assessments, including metals analysis according NIOSH Method 7303 and NIOSH 0500/0600 md-Gravimetric Hygiene Methods. This could include situations where it had been found by Manitoba Labour and Immigration Workplace Safety and Health Division that the assessments of chemical and biological substances in the workplace were absent or not adequate.
• Workplace exposure to specific chemicals present in the workplace. Examples would include exposures to chemicals used in printing applications, paint spray booths (isocyanates), industrial solvents (xylene, toluene and more), resin coating, industrial strippers, paints and glues. Testing can be performed for short-term exposures, longer-term exposures, single day testing, or testing can be repeated over a certain period.
• Noise Level Assessments. Noise levels can be a significant health and safety issue in some workplaces. A noise assessment survey can be done to determine noise levels either at different times of the day, or with different types of equipment in operation. As these types of surveys are highly customized, we would recommend contacting us with the details of your particular situation in order to proceed.

A comprehensive final report will be prepared, including an interpretation of the results against current and proposed occupational exposure limits published by ACGIH (American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists), as well as any recommendations regarding general ventilation rates or the level of respiratory protection or other personal protective equipment that would be appropriate.

If you are interested in sampling for occupational exposures but are unsure as to how to proceed, please fill out the “request a quote” form and we will contact you to determine an appropriate course of action.

Noise can be a great source of stress for people of all ages, and more so for the elderly and those who have a low tolerance to noise due to physiological or psychological reasons. In general, however, noise at a certain level provides an unhealthful environmental for normal and healthful living. The extreme conditions that drive people beyond the limits of sanity is a common situation: a neighbor who, after ten years, finally breaks down and kills a neighbor who cannot bring down his music volume. In many cases, just the humdrum of the vehicles in a city over a long period can cause some people to develop hypertension or insomnia and the corresponding more serious illnesses that develop from either condition.

In the workplace, conditions are maintained to provide a desirable occupational atmosphere. In offices, noise cannot be allowed to go beyond a low decibel allowable for quiet thinking and conversation. In factories, the noise of equipment and other noise sources (outdoor traffic, ambient noise from commercial establishments, etc.) should be regulated through the use of noise-reduction techniques: double-walled partitions, ear plugs, curtains, etc.

In our modern scientific era, it is no longer enough to depend on arbitrary means to determine what is healthful and what unhealthful noise-level is. Neither can people merely tolerate noise levels beyond the normal threshold. Technology allows us to measure and control noise levels in order to ascertain that the health of workers and other people concerned is safeguarded and maintained. For those who may not be aware, there are professional consultants, such as MWI Consultants, that provide exactly this kind of service.

Noise level determination will no longer be done through guesswork or merely using arbitrary standards which will vary according to environment or people. Environmental standards set by public ordinances or regulations provide a benchmark (the “no-complaint” zone) upon which anyone can set comfortable levels of ambient noise in any situation.

Wallace Associates Inc. understands the role of the entrepreneur as an innovative force in the economic and social sense. Many of the changes in the manufacturing and retailing industry have been products of entrepreneurs who dared to challenge conventional thinking and introduced productive and efficient approaches to doing things. Fastfoods chains, malls and BPO’s are just some of the innovations entrepreneurs came up with in the contemporary setting, not to mention many other products and services that have served to make modern life what it is today.

What qualities of entrepreneurs can we emulate which we can productively apply in the corporate world or even in ordinary living? Here are a few:

1. Resourcefulness – One does not need to be wealthy or well-connected in order to become resourceful. The ability to find opportunities in every situation is a talent that arises from being curious about life and things, in general. Understanding how people, things and situations interact with each other in a dynamic way allows the entrepreneur to picture novel ways of improving work efficiency and reducing costs and resources. It takes a mind that can see the forest as well as the trees for what they really are and what they can become – a simple forest as well as a sanctuary for animals and for people who seek beauty, solace and rest.

2. Inventiveness – Imagination lays a vital role in the entrepreneur’s life. No limits are placed upon the possibilities available to the mind that can see with the eyes of a child. Walt Disney brought about a revolution in the animation and entertainment industry with his penchant for playfulness and adventure. We can almost say that entrepreneurs are only into the act because they enjoy doing things more than their desire to make money. Work without play can be disastrous; a lot of play in work can bring about huge rewards.

3. Courage – All of the above would not be attractive to the entrepreneur or the would-be-entrepreneur if one did not have the courage to face all dangers and criticisms besetting those who wish to follow their innocent and sincere passions and ambitions to make a difference in the boring world that they see and live in. Thomas Edison was probably motivated more by his morbid desire to succeed at every new daunting challenge he faced than the rewards he hoped to gain. How else will you describe a person who persevered by doing a thousand tries just so he could do it right after that?

Wallace Associates Inc. does more than try or innovate in its task of seeking the right people for the right job. Like any other entrepreneur, the company makes things happen the way they should happen in order to benefit everyone.

If you want to see all the best encrypted messaging apps in one place, then this is the guide you’re looking for.

We did a roundup of these encrypted apps because the battle for our data is fiercer than ever. Governments crave for it, companies seek access to it, and cyber criminals probably want it the most.

But what’s so special about my data?

The fact that it’s yours and it can be monetized one way or another, by any of the entities listed above.

Wake-up call: the data you share in your IMs

Today I’m going to focus on a big chunk of your data that I bet you disregard as unimportant: the information stored and share in instant messages and text messages.

Messaging, either via the Internet or through good, ol’ SMSs, is today’s go-to communication method. No doubt about it.

Younger generations – from Y to Z – would rather text than call someone at any time of day and night (myself included). And not only them. Employees in companies of all types and sizes are heavily using instant messaging apps as well.

This means that a huge amount of data is stored, transmitted and shared through these messages.

Data like:

And this doesn’t happen only on mobile devices. Now instant messaging apps are cross-platform, so you can sync your conversation across your smartphone, tablet and desktop. Messaging apps also offer the option to be used for both online IMs and SMSs.

Everything is just a click or a tap away. But not only for you.

You may think you’re sharing data confidentially when using Facebook Messenger, Skype or Snapchat, but sometimes it’s just an illusion.

Without end-to-end encryption, your conversations are right in the crosshairs of cyber criminals, government meddling and amoral marketers.

Here’s a recent example of how security holes in these apps can expose your data to malware and other cyber threats:

“The Check Point security research team discovered a vulnerability in Facebook’s Messenger (both the online version and the mobile app) that would allow an attacker to modify the contents of someone’s chat history as well as give them the ability to spread malware through the chat service. […] This vulnerability existed because messages are normally stored on Facebook’s servers, and Facebook could also modify the messages itself if it so desired. The attackers are simply using a capability that Facebook already has. “

Do I have your attention now?

Good.

Because you’re going to want to find out about this.
