RCS Air Monitoring
This service measures how much respirable crystalline silica (RCS) a worker is exposed to during their shift.
How it works:
Workers wear a personal sampling pump with a cyclone device that collects respirable dust from their breathing zone.
Sampling typically runs for 8 hours to match the time-weighted average (TWA) exposure standard.
What’s included in the report:
Measured RCS levels compared to the Workplace Exposure Standard (WES) of 0.05 mg/m³.
Tables showing exposure levels.
Recommendations for control measures if levels exceed safe limits.
Why it matters:
Helps identify high-risk tasks and environments.
Required under WHS regulations for high-risk crystalline silica processes.
Analysis by NATA-Accredited Laboratories
Samples collected during monitoring are analysed by labs accredited by the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA).
Methods used:
Why NATA accreditation matters:
Ensures labs meet ISO 17025 standards for technical competence.
Results are legally defensible and trusted by regulators.
Faster turnaround and reliable data for compliance decisions
Respiratory Protection Assessment
This service ensures workers are equipped with the right respiratory protective equipment (RPE) and that it’s properly fitted and maintained.
What’s assessed:
Type and class of respirator (e.g. P2 or P3 filters).
Fit testing (initial and annual) to ensure a proper seal.
Worker training on use, cleaning, and storage.
Standards followed:
AS/NZS 1715:2009 – Selection, use, and maintenance of RPE.
AS/NZS 1716:2012 – Performance requirements for RPE.
Why it’s critical:
RPE is the last line of defence when engineering controls aren’t enough.
Poor fit or incorrect use can lead to dangerous exposure
Physical Control Advisory Report
This report evaluates and recommends engineering and administrative controls to reduce RCS exposure.
What’s included:
Site inspection and task analysis.
Review of existing controls like wet cutting, on-tool extraction, and local exhaust ventilation.
Recommendations for upgrades or new controls.
Maintenance and inspection schedules.
Benefits:
Helps meet WHS obligations to eliminate or minimise risk.
Supports development of a compliant Silica Risk Control Plan
RCS and Dust Management Plan
A comprehensive plan that outlines how your workplace will manage RCS risks.
Key components:
Identification of high-risk tasks and materials.
Air monitoring strategy and frequency.
Health monitoring protocols.
Control measures and PPE requirements.
Worker training and consultation records.
Why it’s essential:
Required under new WHS regulations for high-risk crystalline silica processes.
Demonstrates proactive compliance and protects worker health.
Can be used as evidence during audits or inspections
