This four-part series highlights what workers can do to identify risks on project sites and reduce the risk of hazards such as asbestos, lead, airborne particles, mould, and noise.

Episode 1 – Keeping Safe at Work

Occupational Hygiene is the art and science of helping people understanding health hazards in the workplace.

In Australia, for every worker who loses their life to a safety incident, another eight lose their lives due to occupational illnesses and diseases.

Here Ash Boss, Senior Occupational Hygienist talks to us about the importance of understanding hazards in the workplace, and her scientific approach to supporting our clients with the solutions they need.

Episode 2 – Know your hazards

Do you know your potential hazards that could put you, your people or your project at risk?

Breathing in dusts, gases, fumes and vapours at work can damage your health. Being exposed to these hazards can lead to conditions like asthma, or diseases like lung cancer, asbestosis, mesothelioma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

It is important that everyone knows what these hazards could potentially be, know how to identify them, and most importantly, know what to do when they are found.
