The technical information employers need to understand workplace exposures and protect employee health.
Occupational hygiene surveys provide the technical information employers need to understand workplace exposures and protect employee health.
AirCHECK measures workplace conditions and employee exposure, evaluates the results against applicable requirements and reports practical findings.
When this service helps
Use a survey to understand employee exposure, investigate a workplace concern or evaluate whether existing controls are effective. We help select the monitoring appropriate to the hazard.
Survey and exposure-monitoring capabilities
Depending on the workplace and identified hazards, the agreed monitoring scope may include:
- Occupational noise measurement and personal exposure monitoring.
- Air monitoring for hazardous chemical agents.
- Airborne lead exposure monitoring.
- Asbestos air monitoring and clearance indicator sampling.
- Physical-agent measurements, including heat, cold, illumination and vibration.
- Indoor air-quality and ventilation measurements.
- Evaluation of monitoring results against applicable requirements and occupational exposure limits.
- Evaluation of existing exposure-control measures and practical recommendations for improvement.
What you receive
Following each survey, AirCHECK provides a clear occupational hygiene report containing the scope and methodology, results, findings, conclusions and practical recommendations. Results are evaluated against the applicable requirements and presented in a format that helps clients identify priorities and plan corrective action.
Professional and regulatory context
Surveys and monitoring are conducted with reference to the Occupational Health and Safety Act, the regulations applicable to the hazard being evaluated, and recognised occupational hygiene standards and methods. Formal health risk assessments, ergonomic risk assessments and asbestos building surveys are provided as related but distinct services.
