Our Occupational Hygiene Services Available Across Perth and WA

ENVSS offers a comprehensive suite of occupational hygiene services for WA businesses. Each service is structured to help you assess exposure, identify health risks and implement appropriate control measures that satisfy regulatory compliance.

Health Management Plans

We develop tailored, whole-of-site Health Management Plans. These define exposure groups, outline required health and site monitoring and establish a risk mitigation process aligned with your operations. Health monitoring is required for many sites and industries under WA’s WHS Regulations.

Occupational Noise Assessment

Noise monitoring is required when exposure exceeds 85 dB(A) over eight hours. Our noise assessment service uses calibrated dosimeters and sound level meters to measure full shift exposure and peak levels, identify high-risk tasks and areas and recommend controls for preventing hearing loss. We also offer audiometric testing, for which compliance requirements have expanded under WA law.

Human Vibration Assessment

We measure hand arm vibration and whole body vibration from tools, vehicles and equipment. Uncontrolled vibration exposure can lead to hand arm vibration syndrome and other musculoskeletal disorders. Our assessments evaluate exposure against acceptable limits and recommend work practices to reduce risk.

Respirator Fit Testing

Our occupational hygienists conduct qualitative and quantitative fit testing in line with AS/NZS 1715:2009 to confirm that respiratory protective equipment seals correctly to each worker’s face. Fit testing is required before first use, when RPE models change and when facial features alter. We maintain detailed records of make, model, size, method and results for each employee.

Asbestos Monitoring

ENVSS provides background and clearance monitoring for asbestos removal projects, working with NATA accredited laboratories for the highest quality of analysis. For Class A (friable) asbestos removal, clearance air monitoring is mandatory and records must be kept for 40 years. We ensure your documentation meets all requirements and that the site is safe for re-occupation.

Indoor Air Quality

Indoor air quality testing identifies airborne contaminants including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), mould, carbon dioxide, humidity and temperature issues. Poor indoor air quality can affect health and productivity in offices, schools and commercial buildings. We measure airborne concentration of key pollutants and provide recommendations for ventilation and remediation.
Diesel particulate exposure presents serious health risks including respiratory and cardiovascular disease. We conduct personal monitoring and area sampling in workshops, tunnels, underground mines and other enclosed spaces to measure worker exposure in the breathing zone and compare results against workplace exposure standards.

Gas Detection & Continuous Monitoring

Our gas detection services cover confined space entry, process operations and environments where toxic or flammable gases may accumulate. Continuous monitoring programs ensure real-time data capture and alarm response for high-risk areas.

Drinking Water Testing

We test potable water supplies at workplaces and remote sites for microbiological and chemical hazard parameters, ensuring water quality meets Australian standards and protecting employee health.

Breathing Air Quality

For workers using supplied-air RPE or working in confined spaces, breathing air must meet quality standards. We test compressed air supplies for contaminants, moisture and oxygen levels to ensure safe use.

Heat Stress Assessment

WA’s climate and heavy industry operations make heat stress a persistent workplace hazard. We use wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) monitoring and Thermal Work Limit (TWL) indices to assess heat exposure. Our assessments deliver work/rest regimes, hydration strategies and control measures tailored to your site conditions.

Why Workplace Health Monitoring Matters

Occupational hygiene is not a box-ticking exercise. Failing to implement a proper monitoring program exposes your business to serious consequences across three fronts: regulatory, health and commercial.

Regulatory Non-Compliance

Failure to meet occupational hygiene and workplace health requirements can expose your organisation to significant regulatory consequence. Where hazards are not properly identified, assessed, monitored or controlled, businesses may face increased scrutiny from WorkSafe WA, including inspections, improvement or prohibition notices and requirements to undertake corrective action. Serious or repeated breaches can result in substantial financial penalties and prosecution.

Without robust monitoring, documentation and record-keeping, it is almost impossible to demonstrate that you have met your required duties.

Worker Health Impacts

Occupational hygienists are crucial for preventing chronic health issues like lung diseases and hearing loss among employees and building occupants. From exposure to airborne contaminants to heat stress, work sites present risks of all varieties, some of which can develop long after exposure.

Effective occupational hygiene identifies risks early and protects employees from the prolonged exposure that causes irreversible harm.

Business Continuity and Liability

Workplace incidents can trigger investigations where exposure monitoring records and current controls are scrutinised. Without defensible data, you can face increased insurance claims, reputational damage and loss of key personnel.

Occupational hygienists provide valuable insights for businesses to improve workplace safety and reduce liabilities and regular monitoring ensures controls remain effective against hazards and demonstrates ongoing compliance with regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should noise assessments be carried out under WA law?

Noise monitoring is required when exposure exceeds 85 dB(A) over eight hours. There is no mandated assessment frequency. Instead, they should be repeated whenever work practices, equipment or site conditions change or when audiometric testing indicates potential overexposure.

We can advise an appropriate schedule based on your operations.

Will monitoring disrupt our day-to-day operations?

Occupational hygiene monitoring is designed to measure real workplace conditions, so it’s conducted during normal operations with minimal disruption. Our team works around your schedules and production requirements to ensure minimal to no disruption.

What are Workplace Exposure Standards and why do they matter?

Workplace exposure standards set legal limits for hazardous exposure measurements. They define maximum allowable exposure levels as a time weighted average over an eight hour working day, with some substances also subject to a short term exposure limit.

Workplace exposure standards must not be exceeded and only a robust monitoring program can confirm whether your current controls keep exposures within acceptable limits.

When is respirator fit testing mandatory in WA?

Fit testing is required before a worker uses a tight-fitting respirator for the first time, when the RPE model or size changes and when facial features change significantly (such as weight change or dental work). Annual testing is common practice in high-risk industries.

How much does occupational hygiene monitoring cost?

Our fees vary depending on the scope of your site and needs. That includes the number of workers on site, types of substances/hazards involved, sampling duration and laboratory analysis required.
