Health and Hygiene
Protecting the health of workers is a key focus for companies. Workers are exposed to health hazards every day, and these vary depending on the industry, as well as the actual role and responsibilities that an employee (or contractor) performs as part of their duties.
Employees on certain job sites are exposed to excessive levels of dust, asbestos, crystalline silica, toxic gases and materials. Employees and contractors may enter confined spaces or may be required to work on radiation areas. Others may be exposed to loud noises, ergonomic stress, biological diseases such as malaria, or extreme cold or heat.
Organizations have a responsibility to effectively manage and control risk exposures to these health and hygiene hazards.
Additionally, organizations must actively monitor employee and contractor exposure via scheduled and ad-hoc sampling events, document results and take corrective and preventative measures associated to any exposures that fall outside of any regulatory limits.
These vary by jurisdiction, and as such the ability to allocate these specific parameters across your business is not only an important aspect of risk mitigation, but also to ensure compliance with legal requirements, such as for example, OSHA’s Crystalline Silica Standard.
