Abermed appoints an occupational hygienist
Friday, 09 November 2007 00:00

Abermed is pleased to announce that it has appointed an Occupational Hygienist, Julie Zeiler.

 

Occupational hygiene is about recognising, evaluating and controlling health hazards arising from work. These can include hazardous substances, electromagnetic fields, noise and vibration, poor workplace design, or excessive heat or cold, and can cover a wide range of environments. Occupational hygiene involves the anticipation, recognition, evaluation and control of workplace health risks.

 

Julie is a Faculty of Hygiene certified hygienist and has over 12 years Occupational Health, Safety & Hygiene experience, particularly in the Oil & Gas Industry. Julie’s experience covers many sectors of the industry from drilling, chemical manufacture and supply, subsea equipment, cuttings re-injection to production and includes in-depth knowledge of the evaluation, measurement and mitigation of health risks encountered in these sectors.

 

Julie has spent considerable time onshore, offshore and overseas conducting workplace health risks assessments including noise surveys and dosimetry, chemical exposure monitoring, hand-arm vibration measurements, stress assessments, manual handling and assessment of local exhaust ventilation.

 

Julie is also an experienced trainer who has delivered training solutions to clients ranging from subjects such as face-fit-testing to conducting noise surveys and managing health and safety. Julie has broad health, safety and hygiene experience and is able to deliver the complete solution to clients for workplace health risk management.

 

James Miller, Managing Director says “With Julie on board, Abermed can provide the full range of Occupational Hygiene services and we are delighted to have her working with us”.
