Clinton E. Smith,
MS, CIH, CSP

Principal and Project Manager

As a Colden Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH), Clint Smith provides industrial hygiene (IH) and safety assessments, indoor environmental quality surveys, and environmental health compliance evaluations and recommendations for a wide range of industrial and nonindustrial clients. Clint is often engaged in performing air monitoring for various chemical agents and conducting safety assessments for a variety of hazards including working at heights, confined spaces and controlling hazardous energy (LOTO).

Clint has extensive experience in the evaluation and control of industrial and community noise, managing hundreds of occupational exposure assessments coast to coast for over 50 manufacturing facilities. As part of these exposure assessments, Clint performs noise control solution assessments to evaluate and prioritize noise sources contributing to exposure in the workplace as well as the community. Interesting projects have included long term work zone and perimeter monitoring around wind turbine fields, event centers, power generation plants and active manufacturing facilities.

Clint has also completed several comprehensive ventilation assessments involving industrial and laboratory environments requiring consideration for a balance between health and safety and energy conservation parameters.

He holds a Master of Science from the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, where he concentrated in Occupational and Environmental Hygiene (OEH). He earned a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science and policy from Clarkson University. While at Clarkson he researched the concentrations of two compounds emitted by common household air fresheners and performed the sample analysis through the use of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS).

While at UMass-Lowell, he conducted research on perimeter air monitoring and worker respiratory protection during the remediation of former manufactured gas plant (MGP) sites. The research also included analyzing the effect of factors such as wind speed, temperature, and relative humidity on airborne stressors at the downwind perimeter of the site with consideration for nearby sensitive receptors.

Clint is a Certified Industrial Hygienist and a Certified Safety Professional (CSP). He is also a New York State (NYS) Department of Labor (DOL) Licensed Mold Assessor. He is a member of the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) and has completed the OSHA 10-hour construction safety training, as well as the OSHA Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) supervisor training course.

Clint is an Eagle Scout and enjoys golfing, skiing, pickleball and coaching three youth soccer teams for his children.
