With its vast experience in industrial hygiene, Le Groupe Gesfor offers a very diversified range of services to its clientele. Our personnel has the necessary training and expertise to develop and carry out assessments for every aspect of industrial hygiene, from inventorying controlled products to sampling contaminants (chemical, physical and biological). In addition, every laboratory we collaborate with has all the required accreditations, so that our clients can count on our reliable and professional services.
