Industrial Safety Forensic Investigation

Workplace safety is important to every employee. While US employment has almost doubled since 1970, workplace fatalities have been reduced by more than 65%, and occupational injury and illness rates have declined by 67%.  Still, 4,405 workers were killed on the job in 2013.

Heiberg Engineering & Forensics investigates workplace accidents and incidents involving injury and fatalities at manufacturing, industrial and construction workplaces.
