Why Industrial Hygiene Matters

Workplace exposure to hazardous agents—whether chemical, physical, or biological—can lead to serious short- and long-term health consequences if not properly controlled. Our approach helps employers meet their strict obligations under Quebec’s occupational health and safety framework while proactively protecting their workforce.

Preventis System supports organizations across Quebec by:

Identifying health hazards in the work environment.

Measuring employee exposure using precise, calibrated instruments.

Designing practical, sustainable control strategies.

Evaluating compliance with legislated exposure limits.

Our Industrial Hygiene Services

Hazard Identification & Exposure Risk Assessment

Our occupational hygienists evaluate work environments to identify factors that may negatively impact workers’ health. Each assessment follows a standardized, legislated, and evidence-based methodology, ensuring reliable results and defensible decisions.

Identification des Dangers & Évaluation des Risques d'Exposition

Sampling of Physical, Chemical, and Biological Contaminants

Preventis experts perform on-site sampling using calibrated industrial hygiene instruments. To ensure absolute accuracy and regulatory credibility, all samples are analyzed by accredited laboratories.

We sample and assess exposure to a wide range of contaminants, including:

Volatile Organic Compounds

Asbestos

Beryllium

Diesel Exhaust

Gases and vapours

Formaldehyde

Solvents

Lead

Noise Management & Hearing Conservation Programs

Noise exposure is a major occupational hazard that can cause permanent hearing loss and broader health effects. Health impacts of noise exposure include:

Auditory Effects

Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL), tinnitus, and acoustic trauma.

Non-Auditory Effects

Cardiovascular risks (hypertension, heart disease), psychological stress, anxiety, sleep disorders, reduced productivity, and increased safety risks.

The Preventis Noise Control Approach

Our occupational hygiene technicians design Hearing Conservation Programs using the standard hierarchy of controls, prioritizing permanent solutions. Our programs perfectly align with CSA Z94.2 and applicable Quebec regulations.

Elimination / Substitution

Removing or replacing noisy equipment.

Engineering Controls

Installing barriers, enclosures, or vibration isolation.

Administrative Controls

Implementing task rotation, scheduling, and quiet zones.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Providing earplugs or earmuffs, complete with fit testing when required.

Heat Stress Assessment & Management

Heat stress is a growing occupational risk, particularly in heavy industrial and outdoor work environments. This proactive approach helps prevent heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and costly productivity losses.

Identifying and mapping heat exposure hotspots by task and location.

Evaluating work/rest cycles and metabolic workloads.

Factoring in environmental conditions and individual risk factors.

Recording findings directly in the Preventis software platform.
