OCCUPATIONAL HYGIENE
01
At Oherm,
Understanding Occupational hygiene
we provide comprehensive Occupational Hygiene Services to ensure a safe and healthy work environment for your employees. Our team of certified experts specializes in identifying, assessing, and controlling environmental and workplace health hazards. By focusing on the science of occupational hygiene, we aim to protect workers from diseases caused by exposure to physical, chemical, biological, and ergonomic hazards.
We Help You Look After Your People
If you’re running a business or managing a worksite, you already know that keeping people safe isn’t optional — it’s a legal and moral responsibility. That includes your employees, contractors, and anyone else who steps onto your site.
At OHERM, we’re here to make that job easier for you.
Occupational hygiene is about spotting health risks before they turn into problems — things like dust in the air, loud noise, chemicals, poor ventilation, and more. These hazards might not always be visible, but they can have a big impact on your team’s health if left unchecked.
Our team of Certified Occupational Hygienists brings together years of real-world experience with deep scientific knowledge. We work alongside you to:
- Find and measure risks in your workplace
- Figure out what needs fixing and what can be improved
- Recommend practical solutions — whether that’s changing a process, removing a hazard, improving PPE, or adjusting a policy
- Help you meet your WHS obligations and avoid compliance headaches
We’re not here to tick boxes. We’re here to make sure your people are safe, your work environment is healthy, and your business is doing the right thing — every step of the way.
Let’s work together to reduce risk, protect your team, and build a safer future for your workplace.
Key featured services
Health Risk Assessments (HRA)
Before you can fix a problem, you need to know it’s there. We help identify health risks in your workplace — from dust and fumes to noise and vibration — and offer clear steps to reduce those risks and keep your team safe.
Airborne Contaminants Assessment
Assess harmful airborne particles (dust, gases, fumes) to prevent respiratory and skin issues.Dust, gases, and fumes can linger in the air and quietly harm your workers over time. We monitor the air to find out exactly what’s there, then help you take action to protect respiratory health and skin from long-term damage.
Airborne Fibres Monitoring
Working around asbestos? We’ve got you covered. Our team monitors airborne fibres and ensures your worksite is safe before, during, and after asbestos-related tasks. We also provide clearance certificates for peace of mind and compliance.
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Assessments
If your team spends their day indoors, the quality of that air matters — a lot. We test for things like mould, chemicals, and dust that can affect wellbeing and productivity. Then we give you easy-to-follow advice to make the space healthier.
Noise Assessments
Loud workplaces can take a toll on hearing — and once hearing is lost, it’s gone for good. OHERM conducts noise surveys and personal noise exposure monitoring to identify and assess risks related to noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). We also provide solutions like audiometric testing and recommendations for hearing protection to safeguard workers.
Vibration Assessments
Excessive vibration from machinery and tools can lead to health issues like joint pain or back problems. OHERM performs vibration assessments to measure whole-body and hand-arm vibration exposure in workplaces, particularly for operators and machinery users, ensuring compliance with safety standards.
Our Approach
Identify
We begin with a detailed evaluation of your workplace to identify potential health hazards — including airborne contaminants, noise, hazardous substances, vibration, and more. Our team uses advanced equipment and deep field experience to uncover both visible and hidden risks.
Assess
Using industry standards like Safe Work Australia guidelines and ACGIH limits, we assess exposure levels and measure the severity of each hazard. This helps prioritise risks based on real data and ensures our decisions are backed by science.
Control
We design and implement practical, effective control measures using the Hierarchy of Control — whether it’s engineering solutions, administrative actions, or PPE recommendations. Our goal: reduce risk in a sustainable, cost-effective way.
