Manufacturing
EnviroScience Solutions has worked extensively in the manufacturing sector to provide sustainable solutions for a broad range of issues impacting industrial factories and the environment. Competent and experienced in dealing with many site complexities, especially those unique to regional Australia, we take a practical and hands-on approach when protecting the health of the worksite, environment and workforce.
Specialising in the identification, monitoring and management of contaminants and hazardous materials, we pride ourselves on delivering tailored, innovative solutions, both quickly and cost-effectively.
Common hazardous material testing and monitoring includes airborne dust level monitoring, vibration monitoring to protect buildings and underground infrastructure, noise monitoring and occupational hygiene measures to identify, monitor and minimise health risks in the workplace. As well as, asbestos testing, which is conducted in our in-house NATA accredited laboratory, and the maintenance of asbestos registers.
We also monitor the health of those working onsite, by conducting individual health monitoring for repetitive strain injuries such as, hand and arm vibration, and respirator fit testing for inhalable and respirable dust and crystalline silica.
Based in regional New South Wales, our team of 50 specialists have been successfully servicing regionally based manufacturing clients for more than 15 years. Our understanding of local issues, and our network of local connections, has seen has work with some of the country’s leading regional manufacturers.
Case Study: Lime Processing Plant Friable Asbestos Remediation
EnviroScience Solutions was commissioned by a client to undertake an initial assessment and prepare a scope of works for remediation following an unexpected find of asbestos materials at a lime processing plant. The asbestos materials, presumed to be used as insulation around smoke boxes, were identified during renovation works and analysed as containing amosite, chrysotile and crocidolite, in a friable condition.
Engaging a local asbestos removalist with a friable (Class A) licence, EnviroScience worked with both the client and the removalist to design an adequate remediation plan, including an exclusion zone, clean zone, decontamination chamber and timeframe to complete the remediation.
As the job was time sensitive and the unexpected asbestos find was holding up site works and production, the project was treated as a high priority with remediation works in progress within three weeks.
To also ensure a quick turnaround on air monitoring results, EnviroScience deployed one of its mobile laboratories to allow slides to be read on-site. This provided instantaneous results to the client to show the works being undertaken were meeting all necessary requirements and workers were not at risk.
