This includes comprehensive occupational hygiene services in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, and other regions across Australia, vis-a-vis asbestos air monitoring, silica and dust testing, noise testing, and mould assessments with the help of expert occupational hygienists.

What Is Occupational Hygiene?

Also termed industrial hygiene, occupational hygiene is a scientific method that assesses workplace conditions, recognises potential hazards, evaluates their severity, and offers control and mitigation strategies. Here, the primary objective is to proactively protect the workers against workplace hazards, maintain their well-being, and safeguard the community.

Key Occupational Hygiene Services We Provide

At SERS, our occupational hygiene services consist of the following:

• Asbestos Identification and Air Monitoring

A highly carcinogenic and hazardous material, asbestos poses significant health risks. At SERS, we provide asbestos and occupational hygiene services that include inspections, sampling, and analysis to identify ACMs and assess the level of airborne asbestos fibres. Using state-of-the-art equipment and trained personnel, we provide reports that are in line with industry standards.

• Water Monitoring for Environmental and Occupational Use

Water Quality in and around industrial areas may face contamination due to the presence of chemical pollutants, heavy metals, and microbes. With our comprehensive water monitoring and testing services, detect contaminants and ensure compliance with necessary environmental regulations.

• Dust Monitoring (PM10 and PM2.5) for Environmental and Occupational Use

Particulate matter (PM), such as PM10 and PM2.5, can lead to respiratory and other health issues. With occupational dust testing, you can assess exposure levels for your workers, take steps to mitigate dust-related health risks, and maintain compliance.

• Occupational Silica Monitoring

Silica dust is a common workplace hazard in industries, and prolonged exposure to crystalline silica can lead to severe respiratory issues. Check the levels of silica exposure at your workplace, place effective control measures, and maintain industrial compliance with SERS.

• Noise Monitoring for Environmental and Occupational Use

Prolonged exposure to high noise levels can lead to hearing loss; however, this is a major concern in industries. Our experts use precise equipment to measure noise exposure, assess compliance with regulatory limits, and offer comprehensive noise control strategies to minimize the impact of noise.

• Mould Environmental and Occupational Exposure

Mould exposure can lead to allergic and respiratory conditions, which can increase in severity with exposure. At SERS, we conduct thorough inspections, air sampling, and surface testing to detect mould, assess its impact on indoor air quality, and provide remediation solutions.

• Occupational Hygiene Advice and Reporting

Alongside checking the above parameters to maintain the health and safety of the workers at the workplace, SERS also offers advisory, reporting, and remediation services. This helps businesses and business owners counter and mitigate conditions that may harm the workers.
