Hazardous materials are present throughout Australian buildings and workplaces
Many hazardous materials are present throughout Australian buildings and workplaces. They can be found as building materials, surface finishes, within plant & equipment, and as raw materials or products/by-products of manufacturing processes. Hazardous materials are also found as environmental pollutants, including pesticides, herbicides, hydrocarbons, and heavy metals.
Hazardous materials may present an immediate risk to human health, long-term health effects through prolonged exposure, or be damaging to the natural environment.
Our Hazardous Materials Experts provide identification, testing, measurement & monitoring, risk assessment, and management recommendations for a broad range of substances and materials.
