Occupational hygiene service
IOM identifies workplace health hazards, assesses how exposure occurs and checks whether existing controls protect employees. We provide clear evidence and practical priorities for managing risk.
Service overview
Many workplace health hazards cannot be seen or easily recognised. Employees may be exposed to hazardous substances, noise, vibration or other risks without clear warning signs.
Monitoring alone does not provide the full picture. You also need to understand how the work is carried out, who may be exposed and whether existing controls provide effective protection.
Practical support
IOM’s occupational hygienists assess workplace activities to identify potential exposure routes and determine where further investigation is needed.
Our support may include:
We tailor the assessment to your workplace and the decisions you need to make.
From evidence to action
We bring the evidence together to show where risks exist, who may be affected and which improvements should take priority.
Our reports explain the findings in clear language and provide practical, proportionate recommendations. This helps you target resources effectively, strengthen controls and demonstrate that workplace health risks are being managed.
