A hygiene assessment helps you understand real risks in your workplace and take steps to protect your people. It’s not just about compliance (though that’s important). It’s about reducing health risks that can lead to illness, absenteeism, or long-term claims.

Regular assessments show your commitment to worker wellbeing and can help you meet WHS obligations, improve productivity, and avoid costly incidents or enforcement actions.

Costs vary depending on the size of your site, the type of assessment, sampling requirements, and reporting needs. We’re always upfront and transparent about pricing, and can provide a clear quote before starting.

We offer flexible options to suit small businesses through to large sites, including single projects, ongoing monitoring programs, and tailored packages.

Generally speaking, we are often much cheaper than larger businesses in the marketplace.

Typically, it starts with a discussion about your needs and any concerns you have. Then we’ll plan the assessment to suit your operations, often with minimal disruption to work.

A site visit involves inspecting processes, observing tasks, taking measurements or samples, and talking with your team. Afterward, you’ll receive a clear, practical report explaining the findings, what they mean, and what to do next.

We like to keep it simple. To give you an accurate, transparent quote, we’ll usually ask for:

- A brief description of your site or business (e.g. size, industry, location).

- The type of assessment or service you need (e.g. air monitoring, noise survey).

- Shift length and structure.

- Number of workers or areas involved (if relevant).

- Preferred timing or any deadlines.

The more detail you can share, the better we can tailor the scope and cost to suit your needs and budget. If you’re not sure what you need yet, we’re happy to talk it through with you.

If the site is more complex, sometimes a site visit and walkthrough is more beneficial.
