Workplace testing
Workplace environment samples, like air, surface or bulk, are tested for the levels of hazardous materials in the workplace.
The laboratory does not provide a sampling service to the public nor does the laboratory give an opinion on the analytical results. This is usually done by an occupational hygienist.
We analyse for substances like:
- industrial chemicals
- herbicides and pesticides
- cytotoxic drugs
- heavy metals
- solvents
- volatile organic components, including BTEX
- asbestos
- various inorganic and organic substances including carcinogenic substances
- silica
- dust
Our laboratory utilises state of the art modern instrumental techniques which include:
- GC-MS
- LC-MS/MS
- LC-ICPMS
- XRF
- XRD
- FTIR
- gravimetric
- microscopy
Our laboratory staff are specialists in these areas with extensive experience. The laboratory is NATA accredited (3726) and complies with the requirements of ISO/IED 17025.
