Who we are
RED OHMS Group is a leading consultancy servicing the resources, oil/gas, construction, manufacturing, agriculture, education, infrastructure, and federal/state/local government sectors across Australia. We specialise in providing occupational hygiene, environment, and hazardous materials services, training, support, and solutions for our clients.
The opportunity
Occupational hygiene is the practice of identifying hazardous agents in the workplace that could cause disease or discomfort, evaluating the extent of the risk due to exposure to these hazardous agents, and the control of those risks to prevent ill-health in the long or short term.
A day as a Hygiene Technician involves collecting samples for risk management and legislative compliance. A career in Occupational Hygiene at RED OHMS Group starts at this level with progression through the business to various consultant opportunities.
