Vibration

Exposure to vibration, particularly from hand-held tools and machinery, can present risks to employee health and must be assessed and managed appropriately. We carry out vibration assessments in accordance with relevant guidance to help employers understand and control exposure.

Our services include:

  • Hand-arm vibration (HAV) assessments;
  • Whole-body vibration (WBV) assessments;
  • Exposure monitoring and risk assessment;

Our assessments help employers understand exposure levels and implement appropriate control measures where necessary.

Air Quality

Air quality is an important workplace health consideration, particularly in industrial, construction, and commercial environments where dust, fumes, or exhaust emissions may be present. We carry out air quality monitoring and assessments to help identify potential risks and support safe working conditions.

This includes assessment of:

  • Dust and particulate matter;
  • Combustion emissions from plant and equipment;
  • Workplace air quality associated with industrial processes;
  • Construction dust and site activities; and
  • Indoor and outdoor air quality where relevant.

We provide clear advice on mitigation and management to help protect employee health and ensure compliance with relevant guidance.
