Congratulations to Luke Ripper and Rio Tinto's Candice Dix on co-presenting an excellent AIOH Australian Institute of Occupational Hygienists Masterclass on real-time monitoring. The session was well-received and provided a great opportunity for colleagues to discuss the future of occupational hygiene and how real-time monitoring is being used today to protect worker health.

To read more about using real-time monitoring to assess the effectiveness of controls, check out our latest blog below.

Today is RU OK Day – a national movement on a mission to inspire and empower people to connect with those around us, not just today but every day.

After another year of uncertainty, lockdowns, and continued pressure thanks to COVID-19, it's important to take a moment to check in with ourselves, colleagues, family and friends. Creating an opportunity to share our challenges, wins and struggles can make all the difference.

Fire authorities warn of inadequate smoke alarm laws

Photoelectric smoke alarms save lives!

Among the recommendations are that a regulated position be established on the most effective type of smoke alarms and their optimal location. It also called for industry advice to be developed so factors such as cost did not solely determine what type of smoke alarm was chosen.
