Real Time Dust Monitoring

Real-time dust monitoring is a crucial practice for measuring and controlling hazardous dust levels in various workplace environments. This process involves continuous detection and counting of airborne particles using specialized equipment to ensure a safe environment for workers. By providing real-time data on dust concentration levels, it allows for immediate response measures when harmful dust exceeds permissible limits.

Mould Technicians

Our mould technicians are qualified professionals who specialise in the detection and management of the removal and prevention of mould growth in residential and commercial settings. The primary responsibilities of our technicians include the following:
Inspection and assessment: Mould technicians conduct visual examination, & use moisture meters, and other specialised equipment.

Hazmat Survey Team

Our hazmat survey team specialises in identifying, assessing, and managing hazardous materials in various environments. Their primary responsibilities include detecting potentially dangerous substances, evaluating risks, ensuring that proper safety protocols are followed, and managing contamination of affected areas. In addition, they provide guidance in compliance with relevant regulations.

Occupational Noise Monitoring

Our technicians conduct occupational noise monitoring which is the process of measuring noise levels in work environments to ensure that they meet safety standards and regulations. It helps identify sources of excessive noise, evaluate employees' exposure, and implement appropriate control measures to protect workers' hearing and overall health.

Rio Tinto – Gove Refinery Demolition

Asbestos, Industrial Ventilation

Environics asbestos technicians supporting consulting firm, Red OHMS during the Gove refinery demolition. When demolishing an aluminium refinery, several key occupational hygiene impacts and aspects come into play:

  1. Hazardous substances and chemical exposure: Workers may be exposed to chemicals, dust, or fumes associated with the refinery, such as alumina dust, and bauxite residues. Proper containment and controls should be implemented.
  2. Noise and vibration: Demolition activities often produce high noise levels and vibrations. Monitoring and protective measures, such as hearing protection and reduction of exposure time, help protect workers’ health.
  3. Airborne contaminants and particulates: Dust and particulates generated during demolition may cause respiratory issues, necessitating the use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and dust suppression measures.
  4. Asbestos and other hazardous materials: Inspections, abatement, and safe handling practices must be followed to manage asbestos or other hazardous materials that may be present in the facility.

Licensed Asbestos Assessors

A licensed asbestos assessor is a professional who is qualified and authorised to perform assessments and tasks related to asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). This specialisation ensures the safety of both the environment and individuals involved in the management and removal of the hazardous material.

The licensed asbestos assessor's responsibilities often include:

Conducting asbestos surveys and identifying the presence, type, and condition of ACMs in a building or structure.
Developing asbestos management plans to help building owners and operators manage and monitor ACMs in their premises.
Evaluating the risk posed by ACMs, including the likelihood of fibers becoming airborne and the potential for human exposure.
Establishing air monitoring strategies to ensure asbestos fiber concentration is within acceptable limits.
Designing and overseeing abatement or removal projects to ensure compliance with safety regulations and best practices.
Issuing clearance certificates after confirming that asbestos removal work has been completed safely and effectively.
