How we can help
Dusts, bioaerosols, fumes, gases and other contaminants can create varied exposure risks across waste handling and processing activities. Changing materials and working conditions can make these risks difficult to predict and control.
IOM measures exposure, assesses workplace conditions and checks whether extraction, containment and other controls are working effectively.
Our independent evidence helps identify priorities, improve controls and support safer, compliant operations.
Assess exposure to dusts, bioaerosols, fumes, gases and other contaminants across handling and processing activities.
Understand exposure across manual, mechanical and mobile activities and identify where action is needed.
Review engineering controls, housekeeping and working practices to identify practical improvements.
Use monitoring and assessment to understand whether controls are working and support compliance decisions.
