Expert Worker Exposure Assessment Services for a Healthy Workplace

WHS Occupational Hygienist can assist employers by performing either a walkthrough survey and worker exposure assessments.
​

Walkthrough Survey

A walkthrough survey is a preliminary assessment of a workplace to identify potential hazards and exposures. This involves observing the workplace and its processes, interviewing workers and management, reviewing available documentation, and identifying areas that require further investigation. The purpose of a walkthrough survey is to gain an understanding of the workplace and the potential hazards and exposures that workers may face.

Worker Exposure Assessment

A worker exposure assessment, on the other hand, involves a more detailed evaluation of the workplace to determine the types and levels of exposures that workers may face. This involves collecting data on the workplace environment, such as air samples, dust samples, and noise levels, as well as data on work practices and procedures. The data is then analyzed to determine the level of exposure and potential health effects. The results of a worker exposure assessment are used to develop and implement control measures to reduce or eliminate the potential for harm to workers. Overall, a walkthrough survey and worker exposure assessment are important components of a comprehensive occupational hygiene program to protect workers from workplace hazards and exposures.
