Short profile:
Brian Milligan Associates - The UK Environmental Consultants specialising in Occupational Hygiene and Workplace Health and Safety.
Do you have health, safety and environmental issues in the workplace? Dust, fumes, chemicals, noise - or even a sick building? If so, we can help you to comply with the law, keep your workers healthy and ensure that your organisation stays effective and efficient.
Almost all workplaces have health risks that must be eliminated, reduced or managed properly. The consequences of failing to do this can be extremely serious for the workers, management and shareholders.
Detailed description:
Almost 2% of the UK workforce is affected by occupational illness every year.
Occupational exposure to chemical agents is responsible for a large number of these recorded cases. Inhalation of dusts, mists, vapours, fumes and gases is an ever present hazard in many workplaces, and absorption through skin exposure is another often underestimated hazard.
Under the COSHH Regulations, employers must assess the risks of exposure to hazardous substances in the workplace. There are well-defined steps integral to this process and we can assist with any of them:
Identification of toxic or harmful substances – raw materials, by-products, waste materials etc.
Assessment of mode and degree of exposure.
Evaluation of current control measures.
Recommendations for improved control.
Employers may require help with the whole process or just one part of it. We will tailor our assistance to your specific requirements.
Brian Milligan Associates have a wealth of experience in measuring exposure to a wide range of airborne contaminants, whether it be extremely visible hazards such as wood dust or flour dust or more insidious ones such as isocyanates or hexavalent chromium.
Most surveys involve the employees wearing personal sampling equipment consisting of a battery-operated pump which draws the air through a medium that traps the contaminant of interest, such as a filter for airborne particulates or a tube of charcoal or molecular sieve for gaseous components. Passive sampling badges may also be used, which do not require the use of a pump. Static samplers may be stationed at strategic points to monitor background levels.
Air sampling may be needed as part of a COSHH Assessment, to investigate the effectiveness of controls such as local exhaust ventilation or to find out what level of respiratory protection is needed. It is also often useful as a means or reassuring the workforce if unfounded fears have been raised.
