Our occupational hygiene services focus on identifying, evaluating, and controlling workplace hazards to ensure the health and safety of workers. Typical occupational hygiene services include:
-
Occupational Exposure Assessments: Assessing and monitoring workplace exposure to chemical, biological, physical, and ergonomic hazards to determine if exposure levels exceed regulatory or recommended exposure limits.
-
Indoor Air Quality Assessments: Evaluating indoor air quality in workplaces to identify potential sources of indoor air pollution, such as volatile organic compounds, mould, allergens, and other contaminants that may affect the health and comfort of employees.
-
Noise Monitoring: Conducting noise assessments to measure noise levels in the workplace and determine if they exceed permissible exposure limits. Implementing control measures to reduce noise exposure and protect workers from hearing loss.
-
Ventilation Assessments: Assessing workplace ventilation systems to ensure adequate airflow, temperature control, and removal of contaminants to maintain air quality and reduce exposure to harmful substances.
-
Ergonomic Assessments: Evaluating ergonomic factors in the workplace, such as workstation design, equipment setup, and work practices, to prevent musculoskeletal disorders and improve worker comfort and productivity.
-
Chemical Hazard Assessments: Evaluating exposure to hazardous chemicals in the workplace through air sampling, surface sampling, and monitoring techniques to assess the risk of exposure and recommend control measures.
-
Heat Stress Assessments: Assessing the risk of heat stress in workplaces where workers are exposed to high temperatures and humidity. Implementing measures to prevent heat-related illnesses and ensure worker safety.
-
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Assessments: Evaluating the effectiveness and proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure workers are adequately protected from workplace hazards.
-
Training and Education: Providing training and education to employees on occupational hygiene practices, hazard recognition, control measures, and the proper use of PPE to promote a safe and healthy work environment.
-
Compliance Audits: Conduct audits to ensure workplace health and safety practices comply with regulatory requirements, industry standards, and best practices to prevent occupational illnesses and injuries.
Overall, occupational hygiene services are crucial for maintaining a safe and healthy work environment, preventing occupational illnesses and injuries, and ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations in the workplace.
