Safe Environments was established in 2006 and in 2018 was the first company in Australia to obtain accreditation by the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) for inspecting workplaces to determine compliance with Workplace Exposure Standards (WES) to ISO AS ISO/IEC 17020 Conformity assessment - Requirements for the operation of various types of bodies performing inspection. This included the inspection and assessment of workplaces for occupational hazards such as biological, chemicals, dusts (including respirable crystalline silica), fumes, fibres, noise and vibration. In 2019 this extended to EN 689 Workplace Exposure - Measurement Of Exposure By Inhalation To Chemical Agents - Strategy For Testing Compliance With Occupational Exposure Limit Values. To provide a consistent sampling strategy and statistical analysis in determining compliance with workplace health and safety regulations (WHS Regs).
