The Occupational Hygiene Team will identify and assess all Hazards and Risks within your company. This is done through an initial assessment to familiarise the client with the process and activities of the respective institute. The team then takes a quantitative and scientific approach to monitor and evaluate hazards and risks, which forms part of an Occupational Hygiene Programme for your company.

Systems :

Dekra’s Occupational Hygiene Systems will ensure that: The anticipation, recognition, evaluation, communication and control of environmental stressors are managed through our multi disciplinary approach.

This is achieved through the continuous monitoring of systems that are suitable for specific hygiene surveys. Custom-designed measurement calculators are used for surveys to provide clients with trend analysis graphs and diagrammes. In conjunction with the client, we plot a project plan to get the non conforming areas up to the levels required for full compliance. We also assist in controlling conditions by being reactive and by initiating proactive approaches to ensure continuous compliance levels.

Through these initiatives clients can project financial costs and productivity rates in order to ensure a sustainable business environment. The members of the Occupational Hygiene Team are all registered with the Southern African Institute of Occupational Health (SAIOH).
