Safe Environments is Australia's only accredited Type A inspection body accredited to ISO 17020 to assess compliance with workplace exposure standards. We have a dedicated occupational hygiene laboratory accredited to ISO 17025 which can analyse respirable dust and crystalline silica using both FTIR and XRD.

Respirable crystalline silica is a naturally occurring material that when small particles are liberated into the air, they become an inhalation health hazard. When these particles enter the lungs, they can cause scarring and permanently damage the lungs over time and affect quality of life. The risk may not be eliminated however It can be managed so that it does not affect the quality of life.

Our consultants have a wide range of expertise in materials science, chemistry, forensics, occupational hygiene, occupational health and safety and Epidemiology. As leaders in this field we have been involved in the development of Australian standards, industry association guidance materials, government task forces in response to the silicosis epidemic and regulatory reviews. Our experience will provide you with the best available knowledge in managing your risk to crystalline silica exposure.
