Occupational Hygiene

With ever-increasing responsibility to ensure that employees, contractors and visitors are not inadvertently exposed to occupational health and safety risks, employers are faced with an increasing need to ensure that their health and safety programs are effective.We believe that the success of health and safety programs hinges on providing advice and solutions that can be translated into practical and easily implemented procedures in the workplace. Our team is experienced in assessing workplace health and safety issues whilst working with employers and employees alike to produce effective outcomes that are acceptable and sustainable.

Our team of occupational hygiene consultants and risk assessors/managers provides a range of services to assist employers with early risk identification through the safety in design process and later evaluation of workplace hazards that may cause illness or impact wellbeing, as well as assisting with regulatory compliance. These include workplace hazards relating to chemical agents (particulates, gases, vapours, fumes, mists), physical agents (noise, thermal stress, vibration, radiation, lighting, ergonomic), biological agents (mould, bacteria), psychosocial factors (fatigue, stress, work associated travel).

Following the identification and evaluation of workplace hazards, we are able to develop or facilitate the development of relevant and practical corrective measures in order to eliminate or reduce future or existing risks using both engineering and systems based approaches.
