Health & Safety in the workplace isn’t something that you, as the owner or manager of an industrial facility, can ever take lightly. Ensuring proper maintenance of the health and wellness of your employees while they are spending long hours working in your factory or job site should definitely be a top priority on your list. Any mishap caused due to ignorance or carelessness on your part can lead to quite a number of complications – medical issues for the affected workers, financial liability in terms of the compensation you will have to pay them for their suffering as well as possible legal trouble for your negligence.

Having a safety consultant in Singapore on your side can help you avoid most of these problems. It is the job of this professional to carefully examine your industrial premises, take samples of the air inside your facility and analyzes it for exposure levels. This indoor air quality testing in Singapore is meant to establish the actual levels of harmful chemicals that are being breathed in by your employees on a daily basis and the potential impact of the same on their health and wellbeing. Many indoor air quality situations culminates with litigation, differences in perceived health effects, regulatory limits and guidelines. Similar tests are carried out on the water supply of an industrial facility to examine ground water contamination levels. Guidelines are being created by recognized government agencies and investigators are being called upon to make decisions with minimal support and directions.

These safety checks can bring health and exposure threats to light very early on so you, as the facility owner/manager can take corrective steps and bring the exposure levels down to within permissible limits. Your risk management consultancy can also help you in finding the best ways to make process/logistical/machinery changes on-site so that similar problems do not occur in the future. Finally, Health & Safety consultancy is becoming more proactive, part and parcel of the organizations.
