Certified Occupational Hygienist (COH) and Full Member (MAIOH) with over 10 years’ experience delivering occupational hygiene programs across mining, heavy industry, and diverse operational environments.
I specialise in exposure monitoring (dust, silica, noise etc.), health risk assessments, respiratory and hearing protection programs, and legislative compliance reporting. I provide practical, data-driven solutions that reduce risk and embed strong hygiene systems within organisations.
As the Principal consultant at SEM Hygiene Consulting, I deliver independent, high-quality occupational hygiene advice, monitoring strategies, and control recommendations that protect worker health while supporting operational performance.
Passionate about turning complex exposure data into clear, actionable outcomes and building strong, trusted client relationships.
Collaboration
SEM Hygiene Consulting is a small, independent business providing responsive, personalised service to clients. Through a trusted network of experienced occupational hygienists, additional personnel can be mobilised when projects require expanded resourcing — such as during refinery shutdowns or large-scale monitoring programs. This approach ensures clients receive the flexibility, capability, and expertise required, without compromising on quality or technical standards.
SAMPLING
We provide occupational hygiene sampling services, including personal and area monitoring for airborne contaminants, noise, heat stress, and other workplace hazards, with results interpreted against applicable occupational exposure limits (soon to be WEL).
