Dust & Silica Monitoring
Protecting Workers from Respiratory Dust Exposure
Inhalable dust, respirable dust, and respirable crystalline silica are significant occupational health risks across construction, mining, manufacturing, and industrial sectors. Long-term exposure can lead to silicosis, COPD, asthma, and other irreversible respiratory diseases.
​
Most dust exposures in the workplace are not just 'general dust'. Inhalable and respirable dusts can include wood dust, flour or grain dust, welding fumes, coal dust, rubber dust, metal dust, and more. These can have specific health effects and related exposure standards.
​
We provide detailed dust exposure assessments to identify risks, evaluate controls, and ensure compliance with workplace exposure standards.
​
Our team uses recognised occupational hygiene sampling methods to quantify exposure and support effective risk management.
Our Dust & Silica Services
Respirable Dust Sampling
Using recognised occupational hygiene sampling methods to quantify exposure and support effective risk management for respirable dusts, including coal, cement, and various metals.Â
Inhalable Dust Sampling
Detailed dust exposure assessments to identify risks and ensure compliance with workplace exposure standards for inhalable dusts, including wood, hexavalent chromium, various metals, flour, grain, rubber, milk powder, fertiliser, and more.Â
Crystalline Silica Analysis
Expert identification and quantification of respirable crystalline silica levels in industrial environments.
Exposure Profiling by Task / SEG
Understand exposure by specific task or Similar Exposure Group (SEG) for targeted control implementation.
Control Verification Monitoring
Verify the effectiveness of existing control measures to confirm workers are adequately protected.
Airborne Dust Monitoring
Comprehensive monitoring to identify dust exposure risks across construction, mining, and manufacturing.
Why Dust & Silica Monitoring Matters
Dust exposure is often invisible but can have serious long-term health effects. Early identification and control is critical to preventing chronic respiratory disease and ensuring regulatory compliance.
