Hazmat Report and Survey

If hazardous materials are a part of your workplace, it’s important that you’re fully aware of the risks they pose, and how to mitigate those risks. A hazmat report can help you do this.

Asbestos Report and Survey

Up until the 1990s, asbestos was commonly used in construction. So if you’re occupying a site that was built before this date, it’s highly likely that asbestos is present*. We now know that asbestos can pose a serious health risk, and so it’s important to identify its presence, assess the condition of the materials, and responsibly oversee its removal.

JTA specialists have been providing independent, tailor-made advice for over 35 years, and developing asbestos reports and surveys as an important part of each assessment.

Chemical and Hazard Risk Assessment

Workplaces all have their own unique health and safety considerations, and all industries have legislation which must be complied with. JTA Health, Safety & Noise Specialists are committed to helping all businesses provide the safest possible working environment for their staff, and comply with relevant workplace legislation. A workplace risk assessment can help identify and manage risks.

The noise created by airports often extends into neighbouring surroundings and can be quite extreme, thereby having a real impact on those who live and work there. This makes airport noise assessments a unique and essential challenge, particularly in providing information to those looking to undertake building works in the area.

National Standard for Occupational Noise

Australia doesn’t currently have a national standards for occupational noise, with each state’s specific OHS regulations dictating the requirements of employers for complying with occupational noise risks and hazards.

What is consistent across all states is the determination of what noise levels are considered hazardous within workplaces. JTA’s Noise Specialists can help your business maintain compliance with these regulations and keep your staff safe.

Safety Management System

Health and safety at work takes a collaborative effort from everyone in an organisation, but it’s a legal obligation for the workplace itself to meet safety regulations. The creation of a strong and ongoing safety management system is one of the most important systems you’ll put in place.
