We treat workplace health risks with the same professional rigour as we treat the individual worker.
Occupational hygiene delivers and maintains a healthy workplace. It is a foundation of sustainable investment in occupational health.
Our professional occupational hygiene team help organisations develop health risk management strategies for assessment and prevention of exposure to workplace health risks.
We apply health risk profiling, exposure assessment and management techniques to ensure risk management is prioritised, effective and proportionate. We serve a wide range of organisations in the public and private sectors and support some of the largest and most complex infrastructure projects being carried out today.
Occupational hygiene is an essential service for caring employers, and we currently deliver this to a number of the UK’s leading companies in the engineering, construction, manufacturing and retail sectors.
In our experience, where occupational hygiene is procured separately to occupational health, there is a disconnect between the services; Hygiene Partners, working closely with the health professionals within Health Partners, encourage a risk based OH service that targets those who need it most, thereby optimising the investment in OH. We create a continuous feedback loop, which informs the ongoing development of services and strategies.
By providing an effective single-team approach to risk management, our holistic occupational hygiene, health surveillance/fitness for work and wellbeing programmes ensure a more targeted approach and impact on an individual’s health. They enable an end-to-end solution, measurable from start to finish.
We offer a collaborative approach, training and working with H&S and other professionals to “self-serve” as much as possible, to reduce client costs and ensure our clients are better able to self-manage exposures.
Our aim, overall, is to provide high quality, cost-effective occupational hygiene and health services.
