Occupational Hygiene Services

Our occupational hygiene consultants specialise in monitoring, assessing, and controlling health risks commonly encountered across the Central Coast’s diverse industries and worksites.

Silica Dust (RCS) Monitoring
We monitor worker exposure to respirable crystalline silica (RCS) generated by cutting, grinding, drilling, and demolition tasks. All samples are analysed by NATA-accredited labs and benchmarked against WHS exposure limits.

Occupational Noise Assessment
We assess workplace noise levels in factories, civil works, schools, and aged care settings to determine risk, hearing protection needs, and WHS compliance.

Dust, Diesel & Welding Fume Monitoring
From mechanical workshops to construction and waste facilities, we monitor airborne dust, DPM, and fumes to assess the effectiveness of current control measures and recommend improvements.

Asbestos & Hazardous Material Monitoring
We offer asbestos air monitoring (control, background, clearance), lead and SMF sampling, and personal exposure assessments for high-risk trades and demolition projects.

Indoor Air Quality & Mould Testing
Poor indoor air quality is a growing concern in Central Coast schools, offices, and community buildings. We test for mould, VOCs, humidity, and ventilation issues to support remediation or safe reoccupation.

Chemical Exposure & WHS Risk Assessment
We assess workplace exposure to vapours, solvents, adhesives, and cleaning agents, especially in automotive, fabrication, education, and healthcare sectors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Occupational Hygiene

Q: What is an occupational hygiene consultant?

An occupational hygiene consultant is a qualified professional who identifies, assesses, and controls health risks in the workplace. This includes hazards such as respirable crystalline silica (RCS), asbestos, dust, noise, chemical vapours, and poor indoor air quality. Their goal is to protect workers' health and ensure compliance with WHS laws.

Q: Do I need an occupational hygiene consultant for my business?

If your workplace involves activities like cutting stone or concrete, handling chemicals, demolition, welding, or working in noisy environments, then yes — you likely need an occupational hygiene consultant. They help you meet SafeWork NSW requirements and reduce the risk of illness, injury, or prosecution.
