Crystalline Silica Monitoring
Crystalline silica dust poses significant health risks, with prolonged exposure potentially leading to serious, irreversible conditions such as silicosis and lung cancer. Our state-of-the-art personal monitoring devices provide accurate data on silica dust levels, helping you identify and mitigate exposure in industrial, environmental and commercial environments.
Our personal exposure monitoring involves placing a monitor on your employee for a work shift, capturing data on their specific exposure to crystalline silica. The collected data is then compared to workplace exposure standards, allowing us to advise on the appropriate personal protective equipment and control measures required to protect your staff.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) Monitoring
Verum Groups specialised personal exposure monitoring services for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), available across Australasia and Oceania. VOCs, including chemicals like benzene, formaldehyde, and toluene, are commonly found in industrial settings and can pose significant health risks. Prolonged exposure to VOCs can lead to a range of acute and chronic health effects, including respiratory irritation, headaches, liver and kidney damage, and increased risk of cancer.
Our personal exposure monitoring involves equipping your employees with VOC sampling apparatus during their work shifts, capturing detailed data on their specific exposure levels. This data is then analysed and compared to workplace exposure standards, allowing us to provide precise recommendations on the necessary personal protective equipment and control measures to safeguard your staff.

Vibration Monitoring
Verum Group specialised personal exposure monitoring services for Whole Body Vibration (WBV) and Hand-Arm Vibration (HAV), available NZ-wide. Prolonged exposure to harmful vibrations can lead to serious health issues, including musculoskeletal disorders, vascular disorders, and nerve damage. WBV typically affects operators of heavy machinery, while HAV impacts users of hand-held power tools.
Our personal vibration monitoring procedure involves equipping employees with advanced sensors during their shifts to capture detailed data on WBV and’/or HAV exposure levels. This data is then compared to workplace standards, enabling Verum Group to recommend effective control measures and personal protective equipment.
