Occupational Hygiene Consultant

When WorkSafe shows up asking about your workplace exposure monitoring, you need more than just someone with a noise meter. You need a certified occupational hygiene consultant who understands both the science and the regulations. At Eva & Associates, our occupational hygiene consultants have been keeping Melbourne businesses compliant and workers safe for three decades.

What an Occupational Hygiene Consultant Actually Does

Think of an occupational hygiene consultant as a detective for workplace health hazards. We track down the invisible threats – the dust you can’t see, the vapours you’ve gotten used to, the noise levels that seem “normal” after a while. Our job is finding these hazards before they find your workers’ compensation claims.

Eva & Associates experienced consultants regularly conduct workplace risk assessments and monitoring for physical workplace hazards including:

• Particulates (inhalable and respirable) – From silica dust on construction sites to flour dust in bakeries
• Local exhaust/fume cabinet assessments – Making sure your extraction systems actually extract
• Noise – Comprehensive dosimetry and area monitoring to prevent hearing loss claims
• Volatile organic compounds including isocyanates – The nasty chemicals from paints, adhesives and manufacturing processes
• Radiation – Both ionising and non-ionising radiation assessments
• Heat stress – Critical for foundries, bakeries, and outdoor workers in Australian summers
• Odour sourcing, identification & remediation advice – When complaints start affecting your operations
• Indoor air quality – Because office workers deserve healthy air too
• Biological hazards – Legionella, mould, and other microscopic troublemakers
• Vibration – Hand-arm and whole-body vibration that causes long-term injury
• Lighting and ergonomics – Preventing eye strain and musculoskeletal disorders

Why Your Business Needs an Occupational Hygiene Consultant

Here’s the reality: WorkSafe Victoria issued over $30 million in fines last year, and exposure to hazardous substances is a priority area. One worker developing silicosis or occupational asthma can cost your business hundreds of thousands in claims, not to mention the human cost.

Our occupational hygiene consultant team doesn’t just tick boxes. We translate complex exposure standards into practical solutions. When we tell you a worker’s exposure is at 80% of the workplace exposure standard, we also explain what that means for your risk profile and what controls actually work in the real world.

The Eva & Associates Occupational Hygiene Consultant Difference

Our occupational hygiene service can help your business with risk assessment, workplace monitoring of identified risks and production of a risk management plan and recommendations to ensure safety is maximised and compliance is satisfied.

What sets our occupational hygiene consultants apart? We’re not fresh graduates with textbook knowledge. Our fully qualified Occupational Hygienists provide a range of specialist workplace hazard assessments, including the measurement and evaluation of exposure to the above listed potential hazards. We hold:

• Full certification from the Australian Institute of Occupational Hygienists (AIOH)
• NATA accreditation for testing procedures
• Decades of experience across every industry in Victoria

We’ve worked in underground mines, pharmaceutical clean rooms, metal foundries, hospital operating theatres, and everything in between. When your occupational hygiene consultant has “seen it all,” you get practical advice that actually works on the factory floor, not just in theory.
