Occupational hygiene is the anticipation, recognition, evaluation, and control of environmental factors or stressors arising in or from the workplace, which may cause sickness, impaired health and well-being, or significant discomfort among workers. Such stressors can include chemical, physical, biological, and ergonomic hazards. The goal of occupational hygiene is to protect the health and well-being of workers and the community by identifying and controlling potential hazards in the workplace.
Safe and Sound Solutions can conduct workplace exposure monitoring and exposure assessments throughout New Zealand. We employ a number of real-time assessment techniques that can allow preliminary assessment against the New Zealand workplace exposure standards without the initial cost of a full exposure survey. This allows controls to be improved prior to workers personal exposure assessment. The latest workplace exposure standards can be found on Worksafe NZ website. We also offer assistance with Personal protective and respiratory protective equipment including respirator fit testing.
