[space size=”80″][headline style=”medium” use_underline=”yes” cssclass=”center”]From welding fumes to solvent vapours and from wood dust to metal powders in additive manufacturing. We provide occupational hygienist services for welding fume, wood dusts and other COSHH substances.[/headline]

Since 1994 we have provided occupational hygienist services. We are one of only three international organisations to have been selected by The British Museum to support them under a framework agreement for health and safety.

Rely on us to provide considered and appropriate risk management to ensure that you are covering both health and safety in your organisation through the specialist advice of an experienced occupational hygienist.

Roger Hart, our occupational hygienist, has carried out hundreds (if not thousands) of occupational health & hygiene sampling programmes.  From isocyanate exposure through to monitoring in aerospace for tributyl phosphate or metal powders for additive manufacturing (nickel superalloys IN625, IN718, aluminium A20x, Scamalloy and titanium Ti64) we can cover all of your sampling needs and integrate this programme with other health or safety support.  We’d love to hear from you and will quickly respond with a clear cost proposal.

SURVEILLANCE[/headline]

Health surveillance is required under regulation 11 of COSHH and is an area which we correctly identified in our White Paper on FFI as a key issue for enforcement. Health surveillance doesn’t need to be difficult or complicated, we can help you arrange a range of urine and blood tests covering lead and isocyanate exposure for example.  But we can also give your staff the necessary skills and knowledge to carry out checks for dermatitis and other health conditions through our occupational hygienist, Roger Hart.
Whether you have a range of health requirements or you are a small business simply wishing to do the best by your staff, we can help – call us on 01453 800100 for more information or request a call back and we’ll be in touch.

[headline style=”medium” use_underline=”yes”]COSHH RISK
ASSESSMENT[/headline]

COSHH risk assessment can be a long and laborious process for many of our clients.  It’s also an area in which some colleagues feel that a helping hand or some oversight from an experienced occupational hygienist is of value. We will work alongside you to either carry out assessments or simply to sanity check your own conclusions.

We also carry out COSHH training sessions giving your internal teams the skills and knowledge necessary for them to effectively manage COSHH risk themselves, ask us to call you back if you’d like to know more and our occupational hygienist wil be in touch.

We hope that you’ve found some answers in our information above. Here are some areas in which we have completed monitoring but please contact us if you’d like to discuss a specific requirement with our occupational health & hygiene specialists.
