Dust Monitoring Services in Australia
Dust monitoring uses gravimetric sampling methods to quantify airborne particulate concentrations in the breathing zone of workers. Personal sampling pumps draw air through pre-weighed filter cassettes over a representative work shift, capturing inhalable or respirable fractions depending on the hazard profile.
Results are compared against Safe Work Australia Workplace Exposure Standards (WES) and the forthcoming Workplace Exposure Limits (WEL) effective December 2026. For crystalline silica, the current WES of 0.05 mg/m3 TWA-8h applies across all states and territories.
OHConnect connects you with practitioners who hold AIOH or BOHS certification, carry calibrated sampling equipment, and use NATA-accredited laboratories for gravimetric analysis.
