🔍 What Is Industrial Hygiene?

Industrial hygiene — also referred to as occupational hygiene — involves assessing risks related to:
  • Airborne contaminants (dusts, vapours, fumes)
  • Noise exposure and hearing loss
  • Biological hazards (mould, bacteria)
  • Chemical exposure (solvents, gases)
  • Heat stress and physical hazards
Our goal is to ensure a safe work environment that meets OH&S regulatory standards and improves long-term employee health.
