Overview
Many organisations still see effective Operations Management (OM) and Occupational Health and Human Factors (HF) management as opposing priorities. Managing the two systems separately compromises the efficacy of both, while also denying the organisation the advantages of an integrated approach. Further, since Operations Management contributes more directly to business targets, OH and HF often get deprioritised. Worse, OH and HF are often considered a cost head rather than a value generator.
Our OH and HF service enables you to live up to your commitment to safeguarding public health and long term occupational health and wellbeing of workers, while still keeping a strong focus on operational efficiency. Our team of health specialists, industrial hygienists, human factors specialists and the network of internationally accredited analytical laboratories help you:
- Identify occupational health, industrial hygiene, ergonomic, and human factors risks.
- Consider risk factors that traditional OH and HF programs often overlook.
- Identify and implement effective risk control measures.
Occupational Health and Human Factors Operational Management: Our offerings
Occupational health and ergonomics risk assessment
Evaluate your work sites and review all the data available to accurately assess the potential for health risks and musculoskeletal injury to your workers. Our comprehensive assessment approach ensures that you recognise all hazards and are able to operate with detailed information at your disposal.
Control selection, validation, and adequacy assessment
Assess your OHS responsibilities and ensure you are meeting all the obligations that you are required to, legally and ethically. We help you identify which risks can be eliminated, what controls you can put in place, how the different controls will work in tandem with one another and whether the measures you take are sufficient for offering due protections to your workers.
Occupational Health and ergonomics assessments
Gain visibility into how your workers and employees interact with the physical workplace environment. We survey and analyse the different workspaces and areas within your organisation, and quantify the ergonomic risks if any. Our experts also offer due recommendations to help prevent strains, musculoskeletal conditions and chronic injuries among your employees, caused by the way your spaces are designed.
Occupational health (industrial hygiene) monitoring and exposure assessments
Monitor the stressors that your workers are exposed to, in the course of their daily activities. Our monitoring and exposure assessment services enable you to identify the OH risks to which different Similar Exposure Groups (SEGs) at your facilities. Data from accredited laboratories provides you with a strong foundation to assess, validate, and where required, improve your existing risk controls in the quest for continual improvement.
Indoor air quality monitoring and assessments
Monitor and supervise the indoor air quality at your facilities to make sure they are compliant as per industry parameters. Our team of experts work with you to test whether the indoor air carries any contaminants in excess of permissible limits. They also help ensure that the temperature and humidity levels are optimised for human comfort and safety.
