Alpha Safety Management's team of specialist consultants have a wide range of knowledge, skills and experience across the health and safety disciplines. We provide workplace testing, monitoring measurement for airborne fibres, dusts, fumes, organic vapours & VOC's, hazardous subtanances and dangerous goods.
Our expert consultants use methodology appropriate to the work environment, including walk through surveys, static, real time and full shift sampling, expert risk assessments and exposure distribution monitoring.
We provide the following key occupational hygiene services:
* Exposure Assessments - personal or static monitoring of airborne contaminants,
area assessments with contaminant profiles, risk assessment and controls, assessment
is made by a recognised NATA accredited laboratory, containment concentrations are
compared with occupational exposure standards with recommendations for exposure
controls where necessary.
* Hazardous Substances - a site audit is conducted using a walk through assessment to
identify hazardous substances and a review of the Material Safety Data Sheets and
manifest. A risk assessment is conducted, using the information from the MSDS, nature
of the work conducted, history if illnesses or disease associated with substances and
recommendations made.
* Dangerous Goods - a site audit is conducted using a walk through assessment to
identify hazardous substances and a review of the Material Safety Data Sheets and
manifest. A risk assessment is conducted considering labelling, signage, storage, spill
containment, emergency response. Recommendations are made to ensure compliance
with statutory requirements.
* Fume Cupboards / Spray Booths / Ventilation - test face velocity, air flow and
compare equipment against standards.
* Heat Stress - assess heat balance, give consideration to environmental factors, such
as air temperature, humidity, wind speed, radiant heat and personal factors such as
clothing, activity and acclimatisation. Estimate effect on core body temperature and
provide report.
* Indoor Air Quality - Identify symptoms of occupants, time of event, period, frequency
of event, location, conduct screening test (24 hour period), assess contaminants
(dust, mould, particulate matter, CO2, CO, VOC's, etc). Compare assessed parameters
against exposure levels and provide report and recommendations.
* Noise - assess static sound pressure levels or personal exposures, assess control
measures and provide recommendations using hierarchy of controls.
* Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) - set up MSDS proforma's, identify and record
supplier details, hazard identification, composition, toxicology, exposure limits,
first aid measures, fire fighting response, accidental release measures, handling and
storage requirements, exposure control/personal protection, chemical properties,
disposal information and training on how to use MSDS information.
