Occupational hygiene service
Hazardous substances may be used in the workplace or generated by work activities. IOM helps you understand how exposure occurs and whether your controls protect people in practice.
Service overview
Hazardous substances include chemicals, dusts, fumes, vapours, mists and biological agents. The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations require employers to identify these hazards, assess the risks and prevent or adequately control exposure.
Effective compliance involves more than completing paperwork. Our occupational hygienists measure exposure, assess how well your controls are working and provide practical recommendations to help you protect people and manage risk.
Practical support
IOM works with you to assess how hazardous substances are stored, handled and used. Our occupational hygienists review your processes, tasks and existing controls. Where needed, we carry out exposure monitoring to establish the level of risk.
We can support you with:
From evidence to action
We identify gaps in your arrangements and recommend improvements based on the level of risk. Our advice is independent, practical and proportionate to your workplace.
This helps you prioritise action, protect your people and provide clear evidence that hazardous substance risks are being actively managed.
