Pay as you go consultancy

CONSULTANCY PROCESS

We work with UKAS accredited laboratories to ensure you receive the most accurate results of your working environment.

Occupational Exposure Monitoring

Exposure to hazardous substances in the air can create long-term health conditions; the employer’s legal responsibility is to stop or control employees’ exposure to dangerous substances within the workplace.

We provide the full range of occupational exposure monitoring to identify, assess and control the health risks associated with exposure to hazardous substances.

Whole Body Vibration Assessment

Whole-body vibration (WBV) is transmitted through the feet or seats of workers who drive mobile machines or other work vehicles such as forklift trucks, tractors, and earth-moving machinery across uneven ground. Prolonged exposure to WBV can cause severe health disorders such as lower back pain and spine problems.

Contact us to arrange a Whole-Body Vibration (WBV) assessment to minimise health risks and help companies avoid the loss of skilled employees and costly compensation claims.

Workplace Air Monitoring

Workers can become sick due to poor indoor air quality; the first step to ensuring good air quality is to carry out a risk assessment of your existing environment.

Our consultants use the latest technology to determine the cause of the problem. Then, they will provide you with a full written report detailing the risk assessment findings and make applicable recommendations to ensure your workplace is as safe as possible.

Noise Survey

Excessive noise at work can result in temporary or even permanent hearing loss. Even if a worker’s hearing recovers within a few hours, continued exposure to high noise levels could damage permanent hearing.

In addition to hearing loss, workers may develop tinnitus, a distressing ringing or buzzing in the ear, leading to disturbed sleep.

Our team are up to date with the latest standards and regulations and will carry out an acoustic survey for any noise problem covering commercial, domestic, and environmental.

I would not hesitate to recommend the ISO services of Mr Matthew Thickett and his team, we employed the services of Oscar Compliance Software and Matthew was assigned to this “coaching role” I am sure my inane questions must have tested his patience but I can say without a doubt he never showed it. He was clear and fair, he set achievable targets, some that stretched me but he was always there to offer a little guidance or a push towards the right direction, with Matthew’s help, support, guidance and on occasion’s firmness, we successfully achieved ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. I am 100% sure we would not have done without Matthew’s help and I would not hesitate to recommend Matthew’s services, he is not only thorough, but also easy to work with, and always willing to take the time to discuss any concerns and respond to questions.

Millards Cleaning has been working with Oscar Compliance for over two and a half years and during that period we have successfully passed two UKAS accreditation audits across ISO 9001, ISO 14001 & ISO 45001. The knowledge of their consultants are of the highest calibre and they will always go that extra mile to assist with any problem or query, whilst recognising that this is a long-term relationship, which is exactly what we were looking for when we selected Oscar Compliance, so long may it continue.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHY DO I NEED A HAND-ARM VIBRATION ASSESSMENT?

To identify and mitigate health risks to yourself and workers, help avoid the loss of skilled workers, and prevent costly compensation claims.

WHAT DOES AN OCCUPATIONAL HYGIENIST DO?

We focus on worker health protection by assessing the risk of hazards and improving your overall work conditions. Our job as experts is to provide you with helpful information and advice to improve the safety of your working environment.

WHAT IS AN AIR SAMPLING ASSESSMENT?

Airborne hazards from gases, vapours, fibres and dust can all cause illnesses that can become life-threatening. Therefore, an air sampling assessment is carried out to measure the number of contaminants in the air.

WHAT ARE MY LEGAL OBLIGATIONS?

As an employer, you are legally responsible for protecting the health, safety and wellbeing of your employees and any others (clients, visitors etc.) who may be affected by the work you do.

WHAT ARE BIOLOGICAL AGENTS?

Biological agents can are generally found in the natural environment, such as in the workplace. They include bacteria, fungi, viruses, yeast and mould. The majority of these are harmless, but some have the potential to cause ill health, and as they are invisible, it’s challenging to evaluate the risks associated with them.

WHAT IS A NOISE ASSESSMENT?

A noise impact assessment is often required by Local Authorities to ensure that noise does not affect any residents. We assess noise emissions from fixed plants such as fans, generators, condensers etc. and provide you with a full written report to ensure they abide by the Local Authority’s requirements.
