Industrial Hygiene LIMS
For Industrial Hygiene Laboratories, the defensibility, accuracy, and timeliness of your test data is critical. Your laboratory’s results drive workplace safety policies, regulatory compliance, and even legal or insurance proceedings.
So, when it comes to the exacting standards of OSHA, NIOSH, and other accreditation bodies, a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is integral for your lab’s compliance, profitability, and peace of mind.
Why Do Industrial Hygiene Labs Need LIMS?
Labs specializing in industrial hygiene face complex, multi-step analyses, strict regulatory timelines, and the requirement for legally defensible data.
Whether you’re dealing with air quality, surface contamination, or chemical exposures, sample management is a high-pressure task. From overseeing a variety of sample types with intricate preparation protocols, rapid turnaround expectations, and detailed traceability to keeping pace with OSHA, NIOSH, EPA compliance, the challenges can seem endless.

How LIMS Can Help
Without a comprehensive, tamper-proof record from sample receipt to final sign-off, labs face risks like catastrophic errors, accreditation loss, and costly non-compliance. Manual or disconnected systems create critical gaps, putting your operations and reputation at risk. BTSOFT’s ALPACA LIMS offers industrial hygiene labs a fully integrated solution to streamlining lab operations, boosting accuracy, and tackling the unique challenges of industrial hygiene testing.
Sample Tracking & Chain of Custody (COC) Assurance
Industrial hygiene analysis starts with sample collection and documented chain-of-custody—a process that’s easily compromised by manual, paper-based systems. ALPACA LIMS digitizes and automates every stage, ensuring traceability and compliance for all sample types, while streamlining audits.
Instrument Data Integration & Evidence Management
Manual transcription of readings from lab instruments not only increases errors, but also disconnects raw data from final results. ALPACA LIMS enables direct import of readings and images, guaranteeing regulatory-grade evidence is systematically linked to each report.
Multi-Step Workflow Automation
Complex, multi-stage analyses are prone to error when performed manually. ALPACA LIMS structures customizable workflows that walk users through each analytical step, supporting QC checks and procedural consistency while reducing turnaround time.
Analyst Proficiency & Method Compliance
Tracking and demonstrating analyst qualifications for regulated methods (NIOSH, OSHA, EPA, ISO) is challenging. ALPACA LIMS centralizes training records, proficiency assessments, and QC enforcement, making compliance verification straightforward during audits.
Centralized Method Repository & Updates
Maintaining current scientific methods is challenging. ALPACA LIMS offers a central, always up-to-date library for analytical protocols, allowing easy access for users and fast updates for managers.
Compliant Reporting & Client Communication Tools
Compiling regulatory reports can be tedious. ALPACA LIMS automates report generation, assembling all essential data, sign-offs, QC, and images into standard or custom templates. Built-in tools keep clients informed, reducing back-and-forth communication delays.
Accreditation Readiness & Immutable Data Records
Continuous compliance with NVLAP and AIHA-LAP requires unchangeable audit trails. ALPACA LIMS maintains a complete audit trail for every step, enabling instant documentation for inspectors and significantly reducing administrative workload.
