Occupational hygiene
Occupational hygiene is the art of assessing the risk of hazards in order to protect the health of workers and building occupants.
Using innovation, a science based risk approach, engineering and a variety of technology, occupational hygienists develop plans and measure worker exposure to chemical, biological and physical contaminants.
The data is then used to provide advise on control strategies that look to reduce exposures to as low as is reasonably practicable.
This approach is designed to protect workers from serious, and even fatal, illnesses caused by work-related activities.
Our occupational hygiene services are a direct reflection of our purpose, to improve health and wellbeing in the workplace and at home.
