OHS is an occupational health consulting firm established in 1984 by Kent W. Peterson, MD, FACOEM, FACPM, MRO in New York, and since 1986 based in Charlottesville, VA. Our focus is in five areas:

We engage in special consulting projects for Fortune 500 companies, universities and government agencies. The scope of consultations includes:

• Assessing and enhancing overall enterprise-wide health and safety programs


• Developing new corporate programs (e.g., wellness and self care, pre-employment exams, drug testing, smoking, HIV guidelines, EAP)


• Conducting surveys or analyzing data. (e.g., company benchmark surveys regarding programs, salaries, health care costs)

We design, conduct, manage and evaluate extensive health promotion, health education, preventive care, and executive wellness programs. Two large, ongoing clients are the U.S. Federal Executive Institute (FEI) and the U.S. Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR).
